This day in Jesus' Name we meet, Our Lord, Redeemer, King; This day around Thy mercy seat We all Thy praises sing; Thou gavest us this day of rest, Of holiness divine; Lend comfort to each troubled breast, And make us ever Thine. Oppressed with earthly toil and pains The weary week did close; Yet God's own day of peace remains When spirits seek repose. Let Sunday's sweet refreshing dew All with'ring cares dispel; Let Sabbath joys our strength renew, Help us Thy goodness tell. Be with us, as Thy servant asks, Thy mercies to prolong; Grant that by prayer we know our tasks, Let incense rise with song. O may this be a day of light To nations far and near; Let all men see Thy visage bright, Thy loving message hear.
