lyrics

O Day of Rest and Gladness

O day of rest and gladness
O day of joy and light
O balm of care and sadness
Most beautiful most bright
On you the high and lowly
Through ages joined in tune
Sing ‘Holy Holy Holy’
To the great God in triune

On you at the creation
The light first had its birth
On you for our salvation
Chris rose from depths of Earth

On you our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heaven
And thus on you most glorious
A triple light was given

You are a port protector
From storms that round us rise
A garden intersected with streams of paradise
You are a cooing fountain in life’s dry dreary sand
From you like Pisgah’s mountain
we view our promised land

Today on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams
And living water flowing
With soul refreshing streams
