THE LORD'S DAY•
5 VERSES
VERSE 1
This is the day of light,
Let there be light today;
O Day-spring, rise upon our night,
And chase its gloom away.
VERSE 2
This is the day of rest:
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Shed Thou Thy fresh'ning dew.
VERSE 3
This is the day of peace;
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
VERSE 4
This is the day of pray'r,
Let earth to heav'n draw near,
Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there,
Come down to meet us here.
VERSE 5
This is the first of days:
Send forth Thy quick'ning breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O vanquisher of death!
