Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #39 (1899) Topics: Lord's Day Day of Worship; Lord's Day Welcomed Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts His saints to-day;
Here may we sit, and see Him here,
And love and praise and pray.
3 One day within the place
Where Christ, my Lord, has been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
Till called to rise and soar away
To everlasting bliss.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LISBON
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Father, who the light this day
Author: Julia Anne Elliott Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #40 (1913) Topics: Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 Father, who the light this day
Out of darkness didst create,
Shine upon us now, we pray,
While within Thy courts we wait;
Wean us from the works of night,
Make us children of the light.
2 Savior, who this day didst break
From the bondage of the tomb,
Bid our slumbering souls awake,
And dispel their doubt and gloom;
Let us, from our bonds set free,
Rise from sin and live to Thee.
3 Blessed Spirit, Comforter,
Sent this day from Christ on high,
Lord, on us Thy gifts confer,
Cleanse, illumine, sanctify;
All Thine influence shed abroad;
Lead us to the truth of God.
Tune Title: [Father, who the light this day]
Father, who the light this day
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #40 (2006) Topics: Memorial Day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, goodwill to men.
2 I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Doane)
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
This is the day of light
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #45 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Lord's Day Lyrics:
This is the day of light:
Let there be light today;
O Day-spring, rise upon our night,
And chase its gloom away.
This is the day of rest:
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Shed thou thy freshening dew.
This is the day of peace:
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
This is the day of prayer:
Let earth to heaven draw near;
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there,
Come down to meet us here.
This is the first of days:
Send forth thy quickening breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death!
Amen.

This is the day of light
On this day, the first of days
Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Hymnal #47 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Lord's Day Lyrics:
On this day, the first of days,
God the Father's Name we praise:
Who, creation's Lord and Spring,
Did the world from darkness bring.
On this day the Eternal Son
Over death his triumph won;
On this day the Spirit came
With his gifts of living flame.
O that fervent love today
May in every heart have sway,
Teaching us to praise aright
God, the Source of life and light.
Father, who didst fashion me
Image of thyself to be,
Fill me with thy love divine,
Let my every thought be thine.
Holy Jesus, may I be
Dead and buried here with thee;
And, by love inflamed, arise
Unto thee a sacrifice.
Thou, who dost all gifts impart,
Shine, blest Spirit, in my heart;
Best of gifts thyself bestow;
Make me burn thy love to know.
God, the blessed Three in One,
Dwell within my heart alone;
Thou dost give thyself to me,
May I give myself to thee.
Amen.

O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #52 (1957) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Worship Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light!
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright!
On thee, the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing Holy! Holy! Holy!
To the great God Triune.
2 On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth,
On thee our Lord, victorious,
The Spirit sent from heaven;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A triple light was given.
3 Today on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
4 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.
Amen. Scripture: Genesis 2:23 Tune Title: MENDEBRAS

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #80 (1970) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Lord's Day First Line: The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at thy behest;
To thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank thee that thy church, unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; thy Throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away:
But stand, and rule, and grow for ever,
Till all thy creatures own thy sway.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CLEMENT
The Day Thou Gavest, Lord
