Happy Is My Day of Rest
1.
Happy is my day of rest,
now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee;
brighten Thou my Sabbath morning;
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
light of light, Thy day of rest.
2.
Fount of all our joy and peace,
to Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
and with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless Thy word, that it may prove-
rich in fruits that Thou dost love.
3.
Kindle Thou the sacrifice-
that upon my lips is praising;
Clear the shadows from my eyes,
that, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow-
that Thine altar doth not know.
4.
Let me with my heart today,
Holy, holy, holy singing,
Caught awhile from earth away,
all my soul to Thee upbringing,
Have a foretaste inly given-
how they worship Thee in heaven.
5.
Rest in me, and I in Thee;
build a paradise within me;
O reveal Thyself to me,
blessèd love, who died to win me;
Fed from Thine exhaustless urn,
pure and bright my lamp shall burn.
6.
Hence all care, all vanity,
for this day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious majesty,
deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught today my soul shall move,
simply resting in Thy love.
A blessèd Seventh Day (Saturday) Sabbath, to all true believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
