Sweet Is the Work, O Lord

Harriet Auber • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 92

Verse 1

Sweet is the work, O Lord, Thy glorious name to sing; To praise and pray to hear thy word, And grateful off'rings bring.

Verse 2

Sweet at the dawning light, Thy boundless love to tell; And when approach the shades of night, Still on the theme to dwell.

Verse 3

Sweet on this day of rest, To join in heart and voice, With those who love and serve thee best, And in thy name rejoice.

Verse 4

To songs of praise and joy Be ev'ry Sabbath given, That such may be our blest employ Eternally in heaven.
