Verse 1
The first day of the week
His own in sad despair
Could not believe for very joy
The risen Lord was there
Verse 2
Obedient to His word
They shared what Jesus gave
And one in Him in breaking bread
Knew what it cost to save
Verse 3
Each day throughout the week
As on the Lord's own day
They walked in newfound liberty
His true and living way
Verse 4
So on this joyful day
From needless burdens freed
We keep the feast He made for us
To fit our inmost need
Verse 5
How soon we forge again
The fetters of our past
As long as Jesus lives in us
So long our freedoms last
Verse 6
Today His people meet
Today His word is sown
Lord Jesus show us how to use
This day we call Your own
