Text Based On Exodus Chapter 20 (KJV)
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The Eve of God’s Dear Sabbath
1.
The eve of God’s dear Sabbath-
Breaks o’er the earth again,
As some sweet summer evening-
After a day of pain;
It comes as cooling showers-
To some exhausted land,
As shade of clustered palm trees-
’Mid weary wastes of sand.
2.
LORD, we would bring for offering-
Though marred with earthly soil,
Our week of earnest labour,
Of useful daily toil;
Fair fruits of self denial,
Of strong, deep love to Thee,
Fostered by Thine own Spirit-
In our humility.
3.
And, we would bring our burden-
Of sinful thought and deed,
In Thy pure presence kneeling,
From bondage to be freed;
Our heart’s most bitter sorrow-
For all Thy work undone;
So many talents wasted!
So few bright laurels won!
4.
And with that sorrow mingling,
A steadfast faith, and sure,
And love so deep and fervent,
That tries to make it pure;
In His dear presence finding-
The pardon that we need;
And then His peace so lasting,
Celestial peace indeed!
5.
So be it, LORD, forever;
O may we evermore-
In Jesus’ holy presence-
His blessèd name adore,
Upon His peaceful Sabbath,
Within His temple walls-
Type of the stainless worship-
In Zion’s golden halls.
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath, to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
