71. 7s. M. Sun. School H. B.

Sunday Evening.

1Sacred day, forever blest!

Day of all our days the best!

Welcome hours of praise and prayer,

Free from toil, fatigue, and care!

2Happy, truly happy, Lord,

Those who hear and read thy word!

Happy those who dwell with thee!

Who thy grace and glory see.

3We once more have heard thy voice,

Lord, in thee our souls rejoice;

Borne by faith to worlds on high,

Called to reign above the sky.

4Though this day of rest we close,

Still in thee our hearts repose;

Guide and guard us all our days:

O may all our lives be praise!
