The Lord's Day

Verse 1

O day of all the days the best, When—laid aside each earthly care— We meet with God’s dear saints so blest, And in their praise and worship share.

Verse 2

Not by a rigid code we’re bound With death to all who disobey; But through God’s love within us found, We keep this precious worship day.

Verse 3

This day our Lord in triumph rose To give us hope beyond the grave; He conquered all our many foes, And proved His mighty pow’r to save.

Verse 4

So in remembrance we will keep This blessed resurrection day, The pledge of all who wake or sleep, That they shall live through Him for aye.
