Welcome, Delightful Morn

Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #311 (1999) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest! I hail thy kind return; Lord, make these moments blest: From the low plane of mortal toys I soar to reach immortal joys, I soar to reach immortal joys. 2 Now may the King descend, And fill His throne with grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face: Let sinners feel Thy quickening word, And learn to know and fear the Lord, And learn to know and fear the Lord. 3 Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless the sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain. AMEN. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: LISCHER

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #312 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: MENDEBRAS

Behold Us, Lord, a Little Space

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #317 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care, And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet these are not the only walls Wherein Thou mayst be sought; On homeliest work thy blessing falls In truth and patience wrought. 4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea; The worlds of science and of art, Revealed and ruled by Thee. 5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth In all we do and know, And claim the kingdom of the earth For Thee, and not thy foe. 6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As thou wouldst have it done; And prayer, by thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one. AMEN. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: ST AGNES

Refrain: I should like to have been with them then, I should like to have been with them then; How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." Refrain: "Let the little ones come unto Me, Let the little ones come unto Me;" And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. Refrain: I shall see Him and hear Him above, I shall see Him and hear Him above; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare, For all that are lost and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering there, For "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." Refrain: For "Of such is the kingdom of heaven," For "Of such is the kingdom of heaven;" And many dear children are gathering there, For "Of such is the kingdom of heaven."
