Hail, peaceful day! divinely blest!

by Annie R. Smith

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 457 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Hail, peaceful day! divinely blest! Sweetly thy glories would we sing, Memorial of that sacred rest, Of vast creation's mighty King; This hallowed time to man was given, A foretaste of the bliss of heaven.

Verse 2

Hark! through the shining courts above What rapturous praises echo now Around that holy law of love Seraphs in adoration bow; Let earth, responsive to the strain, Exalt alone Jehovah's name

Verse 3

O come, thou bright, immortal day! When at His temple all adore, And own His universal sway From age to age, forevermore; Then Zion shall in triumph reign, And Eden bloom on earth again.
