Hymn 130 - The Holy Sabbath Day
2010 VERSION
Come to the Lord to seek His rest,
On this the Sabbath day,
He has bestowed
On those who believe,
The wonders of His love,
The wonders of His love,
The wonders, wonders of His love.
Jesus our Lord revered this day
With joy and love for all,
So too let us
List to His call
And gather here as one,
And gather here as one,
And gather, gather here as one.
No more shall sin control our hearts;
Let God, instead, be king.
For light and life
Are from His hand,
For now and evermore,
For now and evermore,
For now, for now and evermore.
Heaven on earth shall here be seen
On this the Sabbath day,
The poor now rich
The low now raised,
On earth as ‘tis in heav’n,
On earth as ‘tis in heav’n.
On earth, on earth as ‘tis in heav’n.
PROPOSED VERSION
Come to the Lord to seek His rest,
On this the Sabbath day,
He has bestowed
On those who believe,
The wonders of His love,
The wonders of His love,
The wonders, wonders of His love.
Here we observe the Sabbath day
As those before have done,
With eager hearts
To learn His Word
We gather here as one,
We gather here as one,
We gather, gather here as one.
No more shall sin reign in our hearts;
Let God, instead, be king.
For light and life
Are from His hand,
For now and evermore,
For now and evermore,
For now, for now and evermore.
Heaven on earth shall here be seen
On this the Sabbath day,
The poor now rich
The low now raised,
On earth as ‘tis in heav’n,
On earth as ‘tis in heav’n.
On earth, on earth as ‘tis in heav’n.
