This is the day the Lord hath made, A day most holy to his name

Verse 1

This is the day the Lord hat made, A day most holy to his name, Wherein our vows should all be paid, And not a thought our hearts invade That could create one blush of shame.

Verse 2

A day when we should strive to meet, In meekness and humility, Our Father at his mercy seat, Confess our sins and him entreat To pardon our iniquity.

Verse 3

A day when all his children dear In love should meet around his throne A gracious Father's voice to hear, Each heart o'erflowed with filial fear, Making the Father's will his own.
