Delightful day, best gift of heaven

Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Delightful day, best gift of heaven, By man in Eden first possessed; Jehovah's rest-day, kindly given That all his creatures might be blessed. 2 Memorial of creation's King, We welcome now thy glad return; And while his praise we join to sing, Our hearts with love and rapture burn. 3 We bless thy name, almighty Lord, We love the keepsake thou hast given; Our voices raise with one accord In honor of the King of heaven. 4 All praise to Jesus, by whose blood We are redeemed from sin and death; Give glory to the Son of God, Praise him all creatures that have breath. 5 By sin we are exposed to wrath; He died for us, that he might draw Our wandering feet to virtue's path, Where we may keep God's holy law. 6 That law shall still be our delight, The holy Sabbath is a part, And when we gain that world so bright, All flesh shall keep it with one heart.
