23 Οι UR day of praise is done; 2 Around the throne on high, 3 Too faint our anthems here; But oh, the strains how full and clear 4 Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will 5 'Tis Thine each soul to calm, 6 A little while, and then Shall come the glorious end; Also the following: 389 Three in One, and One in Three. 642 Tarry with me, O my Saviour! 643 Inspirer and Hearer of prayer. 644 Great God, to Thee my evening song. S. M. 24 645 The day is past and gone. 646 Through the day Thy love has spared us. The Lord's Day. DAY of rest and gladness, To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; Christ rose from depths of earth; 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise: Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, 4 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls: To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, 7.6. 25 26 Where Gospel light is glowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining HA AIL! sacred day of earthly rest, 2 A holy stillness, breathing calm Uplifts my soul, O God, to Thee, 3 On all I think, or say, or do, Is shed, O God, this day by Thee, 4 Accept, O God, my hymn of praise, YOME, let us all with one accord COME Adore and magnify the Lord, 8.6.8.4. 8.8.6. 2 On this the day that God hath blest, The day of peace and heavenly rest, The Lord's own holy day, 3 That saw primeval darkness break, And that more glorious life awake That lasteth evermore; 4 That saw hell's legions prostrate fall, And Christ, triumphant over all, His own to heaven restore. 5 This day the peace that flows from heaven Was unto the Apostles given, When doors were closed at night; 6 This day the Holy Spirit's flame Upon the Church's teachers came, And filled their souls with light. 7 Still on this day with trumpet sound The Gospel notes are ringing round, To call the world to pray: 8 Then on this day let us adore Our God, and supplication pour, That, when worlds pass away, 9 Through Christ's dear grace our souls may rest In peace and joy, forever blest, Till the great Judgment day. 27 WELCOME, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise: Welcome to this reviving breast, S.
