One In Thee

Representative Text

1 This day is thine, O gracious Lord,
By Thee supremely blest:
It brings refreshing from Thy throne,
And gives the weary rest.

Chorus:
Here may we drink the precious fount,
That flows for all so free,
Oh! tune our tongues, inspire our songs,
And make us one in Thee!

2 Through all the dangers of the week,
Thy arm has been our stay;
And now we come to praise Thy name,
For this dear Sabbath day. [Chorus]

3 May teachers, scholars, one and all,
Adore thy mercy Lord;
And meekly hear the simple truth,
And teaching of Thy word. [Chorus]

4 So may we journey on our way
To that eternal shore;
Where all who try to serve Thee here,
May praise Thee evermore. [Chorus]
