LyicsSAFELY through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us each a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
While we seek supplies of grace
Through the blest Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly care set free,
May we rest this day in thee.
Here we come thy name to praise,
Let us feel thy presence near;
May thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in thy house appear;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting rest.
May the gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners--comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief to all complaints:
Thus let all our worship prove,
Till we join thy courts above.
Glory be to God on high--
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Glory to the Lamb be giv'n--
Glory in the highest heav'n:
Wisdom, riches, praise, and pow'r,
Be to God for evermore.
