Winchester New. CRASSELIUS. 9: 83 1 Come in, Thou blessed, honored Lord, 2 Our only Lord and God Thou art! Reign Thou the Sovereign of our heart, By angels and by men confessed. 3 Thy church now enter, Lord Divine; 4 O happy church, thy bliss how great; With thee forever will reside: Thy Husband He and thou the bride. 5 O Lord! our grateful hearts rejoice, Since Thou hast made our souls Thy choice; While here our songs to Thee shall rise, And join the chorus of the skies. II. Gladness. 6 85 1 Thy holy day's returning, Our thoughts from earth withdraw; 2 We join to sing Thy praises, J. BARNBY. Mendebras. Arr. by L. MASON. 9:4 54 86 10 day of rest and gladness, See also" Gladness," No. 85. O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright! On thee the high and lowly, Before the eternal throne Sing Holy, holy, holy! To Jesus, Lord alone. 2 On thee at the creation, The light had first its birth; Christ rose from depths of earth; 3 Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, A day of sweet reflection, From earth to things above. 4 To-day on weary nations With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, For every good begun; To thee, blest Lord! alone. |
