Safely Through Another Week

Safely through another weekGod has brought us on our way;Let us now a blessing seek,Waiting in His courts to-day:Day of all the week the best,Emblem of eternal rest.

Mercies multiplied each hourThrough the week our praise demand;Guarded by almighty power,Fed and guided by His hand,Though ungrateful we have beenAnd repaying love with sin.

While we pray for pardoning grace,Through the dear Redeemer’s name,Show Thy reconcilèd face,Take away our sin and shame;From our worldly cares set free,May we rest this day in Thee.

As we come Thy name to praise,May we feel Thy presence near;May Thy glory meet our eyesWhile we in Thy house appear.Here afford us, Lord, a tasteOf our everlasting feast.

May Thy Gospel’s joyful soundConquer sinners, comfort saints;Make the fruits of grace abound,Bring relief for all complaints.Thus may all our Sabbaths proveTill we join the Church above.
