Hymn 235
AGAIN THE DAY RETURNS
Verse 1
Again the day returns of holy rest,
Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest;
When, like his own, he bade our labor’s case,
And all be piety, and all be peace.
Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest;
When, like his own, he bade our labor’s case,
And all be piety, and all be peace.
Verse 2
Let us devote this consecrated day,
To learn his will, and all we learn obey;
So shall he hear, when fervently we raise,
Our supplications, and our songs of praise.
To learn his will, and all we learn obey;
So shall he hear, when fervently we raise,
Our supplications, and our songs of praise.
Verse 3
Lord of all worlds, incline thy gracious ear;
Thy children’s voice in tender mercy hear;
Bear thy blest promise, fixed as hills, in mind,
And shed renewing grace on lost mankind.
Thy children’s voice in tender mercy hear;
Bear thy blest promise, fixed as hills, in mind,
And shed renewing grace on lost mankind.
Verse 4
Father in heaven in whom our hopes confide,
Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide;
Through life our surest guardian, and friend,
Glory supreme be thine till time shall end.
Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide;
Through life our surest guardian, and friend,
Glory supreme be thine till time shall end.
