1 O how welcome is the Lord’s Day, Joyous Day for all the ransomed! Day of peace and day of rest, Consecrated to God’s blest. 2 Hear the words of exhortation From the Master of creation. We can feel His love for all. Heed, obey His tender call. 3 Ye redeemed, continue praising, Joyfully your voices raising, Thanking God for His great love, Manifested from above. 4 He, who never has denied us, But abundantly supplied us, Took our sins and guilt away And provides for us each day. 5 May this be a day of blessing! In Thee, Lord, we are rejoicing. He’s the sun, whose radiance bright Fills our hearts with warmth and light. 6 Lord, may we in fullest measure Seek to do Thy will with pleasure. Let us ever live for Thee, Free from sin and vanity. 7 Father, through Thy word awaken Us to faith and true devotion! Zeal to serve Thee do Thou give; Show us that Thy Son still lives. 8 For Thy fervent love we pray Thee! May we ever striving daily On the sorrowing bestow Words of comfort in their woe. 9 Precious Teacher, leave us never! We would follow Thee forever Praying, seeking, trusting Thee, Till Thy glory we shall see.
