  1. 1Safely through another week
  2. God has brought us on our way;
  3. Let us now a blessing seek,
  4. Waiting in His courts to-day:
  5. Day of all the week the best,
  6. Emblem of eternal rest!
  7. 2Mercies multiplied each hour
  8. Thro' the week our praise demand;
  9. Guarded by almighty pow'r,
  10. Fed and guided by His hand,
  11. How ungrateful we have been,
  12. Only made returns of sin.
  13. 3While we pray for pardoning grace
  14. Thro' the dear Redeemer’s name,
  15. Show Thy reconciled face,
  16. Take away our sin and shame:
  17. From our worldly cares set free,
  18. May we rest this day in Thee.
  19. 4AS we come Thy name to praise
  20. May we feel Thy presence near;
  21. May Thy glory meet our eyes,
  22. While we in Thy house appear:
  23. Here afford us, Lord, a taste
  24. Of our everlasting feast.
  25. 5May Thy Gospel’s joyful sound
  26. Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
  27. Make the fruits of grace abound,
  28. Bring relief for all complaints:
  29. Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
  30. Till we join the Church above.
  31. 6Amen.
