Safely through another week

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 384.

Verse 1

Safely 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: Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest.

Verse 2

While we seek supplies of grace, Thro’ the dear Redeemer’s name, Show Thy reconciling face; Take away the sin and shame: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in Thee: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in Thee.

Verse 3

When the more shall bid us rise, May we feel Thy presence near; May Thy glory meet our eyes, While we in Thy house appear: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast.

Verse 4

May 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 we rise to reign with Thee. Thus may all our Sabbaths be, Till we we rise to reign with Thee.
