(94) Blessing of the Sabbath.

Safely thro' another week,

God has bro't us on our way;

Let us now a blessing seek,

Waiting in his courts to-day;

Day of all the week the best,

Emblem of eternal rest.

2 While 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.

3 May the gospel's joyful sound

Conquer sinners, comfort saints,

Make the fruits of grace abound,

Bring relief from all complaints;

Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,

Till we join the church above.

John Newton, 1779. a.
