Safely thro' another week God has brought us on our way
Let us now a blessing seek, on th’approaching Sabbath day
Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest
Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest
While we pray for pardoning grace, through the dear Redeemer’s Name
Show Thy reconciled face, shine away our sin and shame
From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with Thee
From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with Thee
Here we come Thy name to praise, let us feel Thy presence near
May Thy glory meet our eyes while we in Thy house appear
Here afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast
Here afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast
May Thy Gospel’s joyful sound conquer sinners, comfort saints
May the fruits of grace abound, bring relief for all complaints
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till we join the church above
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till we join the church above

Alternate verses:
Mercies multiplied each hour through the week our praise demand
Guarded by almighty power, fed and guided by His hand
Though ungrateful we have been, only made returns of sin
Though ungrateful we have been, only made returns of sin
When the morn shall bid us rise, may we feel Thy presence near
May Thy glory meet our eyes, when we in Thy house appear
There afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast
There afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast
