Safely Through Another Week
John Newton (1774) • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 20:11
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
While we pray for pard'ning grace, through the dear Redeemer's name, show Thy reconciling face; take away our sin and shame; from our worldly cares set free, may we rest this day in Thee.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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.
