Christ My Song - 635
With the Sabbath's holy dawning - Sabbath morning worship
(Ray Palmer/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Sabbath morning worship.
"This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118,24)
1. With the Sabbath's holy dawning
let us, Lord, thy glory see;
upward, on the wings of morning,
our glad souls would mount to thee;
let our praises, let our praises
joined with heaven's grand chorus be!
Let our praises, let our praises
joined with heaven's grand chorus be! (PDF - Midi)
2. Let our thoughts from earth ascending
hold communion with the skies;
while before thee lowly bending,
Lord, we lift our waiting eyes,
pure and fervent, pure and fervent,
let our prayer-like incense rise.
Pure and fervent, pure and fervent,
let our prayer-like incense rise.
3. While we seek thee, draw thou near us,
let each heart thy presence feel;
let thy grace refresh and cheer us,
and each wounded spirit heal;
lead us ever, lead us ever,
till before thy throne we kneel.
Lead us ever, lead us ever,
till before thy throne we kneel.
1875.
