Safely through another week

God has brought us on our way;

Let us now a blessing seek,

Waiting in his courts today;

Day of all the week the best,

Emblem of eternal rest.

While we seek for pardoning 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.

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.

Amen.
