SDA Hymnal 384
Safely Through Another Week
Words: John NewtonMusic: Lowell MasonTune: SABBATH7.7.7.7.D.
1Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2While we seek supplies of grace
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciling face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
3When 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.
4May the gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief to all complaints;
Thus may all our Sabbaths be
Till we rise to reign with Thee.
