7.6.7.6.D. - Trochaic Tunes1.
O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright,
On thee, the high and lowly,
Through ages join’d in tune,
Sing Holy, Holy, Holy,
To God the great Triune.
2.
On Thee, at the Creation,
The light first had its birth,
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose form depths of earth;
On Thee our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent form heav’n;
And thus on Thee most glorious
A triple light was giv’n
3.
Thou art a post protected
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected
With steams of Paradise;
Thou are a cooling fountain
In life’s dry dreary sand;
From Thee, like Pisgah’s mountain,
We view our promised Land.
4.
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.
May we, new graces gaining
From this our day of rest,
Attain the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest,
And there, our voice upraising,
To father, and to Son,
And Holy Ghost, be praising
The blessed Three In One.
Amen
