382 O Day of Rest and Gladness
[1]
O day of rest and gladness
O day of joy and light
O balm of care and sadness
Most beautiful most bright;
On thee the high and lowly
Who bend before the throne
Sing holy holy holy
To the Eternal One.

Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise
A garden intersected
With streams of paradise;
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life s dry dreary sand;
From thee like Pisgah s mountain
We view our promised land.

A day of sweet reflection
Thou art a day of love;
A day to raise affection
From earth to things above.
New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest
We seek the rest remaining
In mansions of the blest.
