Safely Through Another Week (unsourced)

Saturday evening by John Newton


 * Safely through another week God has brought us on our way;
 * Let us now a blessing seek, on th’approaching Sabbath day;
 * Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest,
 * Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest.


 * Mercies multiplied each hour through the week our praise demand;
 * Guarded by almighty power, fed and guided by His hand;
 * Though ungrateful we have been, only made returns of sin,
 * Though ungrateful we have been, only made returns of sin.


 * While we pray for pardoning grace, through the dear Redeemer’s Name,
 * Show Thy reconciled face, shine away our sin and shame;
 * From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with Thee,
 * From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with 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,
 * Here afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast.


 * When the morn shall bid us rise, may we feel Thy presence near:
 * May Thy glory meet our eyes, when we in Thy house appear:
 * There afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast,
 * There afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast.


 * May Thy Gospel’s joyful sound conquer sinners, comfort saints;
 * May the fruits of grace abound, bring relief for all complaints;
 * Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till we join the church above,
 * Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till we join the church above!
