Hymn for the Sabbath.

TUNE—"From Greenland's icy mountains."

Oh day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, Oh balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright. On thee, the high and lowly, Bending before the throne, Sing, Holy, holy, holy, To the great Eternal One.
Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise, A garden intersected With streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land.
Thou art a holy ladder, There angels go and come; Each Sabbath finds us gladder, Nearer to Heaven, our home. A day of sweet reflection Thou art, a day of love; A day to raise affection From earth to things above.
New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest; To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father and to Son; The church her voice upraises To thee, Eternal One.
