Springs in the desert.
Isaiah 49:10.
Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us each a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we seek supplies of grace
Through the blest Redeemer’s name,
Show thy reconciling face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly care set free,
May we rest this day in thee.
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 rest.
4 May the gospel’s joyful sound
Conquer sinners—comfort saints:
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief to all complaints:
Thus let all our worship prove,
Till we join thy courts above.
5 Glory be to God on high—
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Glory to the Lamb be given—
Glory in the highest heaven:
Wisdom, riches, praise, and power,
Be to God for evermore.
Newton.
