Our day of praise is ended,
Its peaceful hours all flown,
We come to close its worship,
O Lord, before Thy throne;
We bless Thee for this earnest
Of better rest above,
This token of Thy kindness,
This pledge of boundless love.
We would prolong its moments,
And linger yet awhile
Amid its closing shadows,
Illumined by Thy smile,
Our souls shall know no darkness
While we may look to Thee;
Our eyes shall ne’er grow weary
While we Thy face can see.
O Jesus, our dear Saviour,
To Thee our songs we raise;
Our hearts, by care untroubled,
Uplift themselves in praise;
For to God’s truce with labour
More glory Thou hast given,
And sabbaths now are sweeter
Since Christ the Lord has risen.
O Lord, again we bless Thee
For such a day as this,
So rich in ancient glories,
So bright with hopes of bliss:
O may we reach Thy perfect,
Thine endless, day of rest:
Then lay our earth-worn spirits
Upon our Father’s breast.
