O Day of Rest and gladness

O day of rest and gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1862)
Tune: MENDEBRAS
1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright;
on Thee the high and lowly
through ages joined in tune,
sing "Holy, holy, holy"
to the great God Triune.
2 On Thee, at the creation,
the light first had its birth;
on thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on Thee, our Lord victorious,
the Spirit sent from heav'n;
and thus on Thee, most glorious,
a triple light was giv'n.
3 thou art a cooling fountain
In life’s dry dreary sand;
From Thee, like Pisgah’s mountain
We view our promised land
A day of sweet reflection,
A day of holy love
A day of resurrection
From earth to things above.
4 Today on weary nations
the heav'nly manna falls;
to holy convocations
the silver trumpet calls,
where gospel light is glowing
with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing
with soul refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father, and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to thee, blest Three in One.
