This hymn has a unique tune

 

Repeat the last two lines of each verse

 

 1  Passing through another week,

       God has granted us His aid;

    Let us now a blessing seek,

       On the day the Lord hath made;

    Day of all the week the best,

       Emblem of eternal rest.

 

 2  While we pray for pard'ning grace,

       Through the dear Redeemer's name,

    Show Thy reconcilèd face;

       Take away our sin and shame:

    From our worldly cares set free,

       May we rest this day in Thee.

 

 3  Here we come Thy name to praise,

       Let us 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.

 

 4  May Thy gospel's joyful sound

       Conquer sinners, comfort saints;

    Make the fruits of grace abound,

       Bring relief for all complaints:

    Thus may all our Lord's Days prove,

       Till we meet the Lord above.
