LORD, this day Thy children meet In Thy courts with willing feet; Unto Thee this day they raise Grateful hearts in hymns of praise. Not alone the day of rest With Thy worship shall be blest; In our pleasure and our glee, Lord, we would remember Thee. Help us unto Thee to pray, Hallowing our happy day; From Thy presence thus to win Hearts all pure, and free from sin. Make, O Lord, our childhood shine With all lowly grace, like Thine Then through all eternity We shall live in heaven with Thee. —WILLIAM WALSHAM How. |

I am the Lord your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them, and hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God. —Ezekiel xx. 19, 20. |
