1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm for care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright:
On you the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing, "Holy, holy, holy,"
To the great God triune.

2 On you, at earth's creation,
The light first had its birth;
On you, for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On you, our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heav'n;
And thus on you, most glorious,
A three-fold light was giv'n.

3 Today on weary nations
The heav'nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where Gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.

5 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The Church its voice upraises
To you, blest Three in One.

Composer: M. v. Werkmeister

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.

All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
