Henry Thomas Smart - And now this holy day - текст песни (слова)

1. And now this holy day
  Is drawing to its end,
  Once more, to Thee, O Lord,
  Our thanks and prayers we send.
 
 2. We thank Thee for this rest
  From earthly care and strife;
  We thank Thee for this help
  To higher, holier life.
 
 3. We thank Thee for Thy house;
  It is Thy palace-gate
  Where Thou, upon Thy throne
  Of mercy, still dost wait.
 
 4. We thank Thee for Thy Word,
  Thy Gospel's joyful sound;
  Oh, may its holy fruits
  Within our hearts abound!
 
 5. Yet, ere we go to rest,
  Father, to Thee we pray,
  Forgive the sins that stain
  E'en this Thy holy day.
 
 6. Through Jesus let the past
  Be blotted from Thy sight,
  And let us all now sleep
  At peace with Thee this night.
 
 7. To God the Father, Son,
  And Spirit glory be,
  From all in earth and Heav'n,
  Through all eternity.
