The dawn of God's new Sabbath It comes as cooling showers 2 Lord, we would bring our burden So few true conquests won. 4 3 Yet still, O Lord long-suffering, The saving name to plead; 4 Until in joy and gladness Ada Cambridge Cross 1866 L. MASON 4 -4 04 4 To Thee, my God and Saviour, My heart ex-ult-ing sings, Re - joic- ing in Thy favor, Al mighty King of kings: I'll cel-e-brate Thy glo-ry,With all Thy saints above, And tell the joy-ful DALKEITH IOS T. HEWLETT Fath- er, again in Jesus' name we meet,And bow in pen i tence be-neath Thy feet; 4 A gain re- turns the day of holy rest, Which, when He made the world, Je -ho- vah blessed; WELCOME, delightful morn, Lord, make these moments blest; 2 Now may the King descend, And fill His throne of grace: Thy sceptre, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face; Let sinners feel Thy quickening word, And learn to know and fear the Lord. 3 Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers, Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless these sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbaths e'er be spent in vain. AWAKE, ye saints, awake! Your joyful homage pay: Come, bless the day that God hath blest, The type of heaven's eternal rest. 2 On this auspicious morn The Lord of life arose ; And vanquished all our foes; 3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
