Hymn 131 - Oh, Come (Oh, Come Gather on the Sabbath)
2010 VERSION
Oh how sweet is the day called the Sabbath,
How deep on this day is our rest,
Come to worship our God and our Savior,
Who has gathered us here to be blest.
Hallowed may we this day ever keep,
All cares let us now lay aside,
For to tread in His path all the while
And in Him all our cares to confide.
Our dear Lord let us serve on this day,
His rich gifts we’ll strive to employ,
When we’ve spread His good Word far and wide,
His blessing of heav’n we’ll enjoy.
Oh, come, come, come, come gather as one at His throne,
Let us lift up our voices in praise;
Lord, let now Your grace fall upon us,
Let us love You for all of our days.

Oh how sweet is the day called the Sabbath,
A day set aside for our rest,
Come to worship our God and our Savior,
Who has gathered us here to be blest.
Hallowed may we this day ever keep,
All cares let us now lay aside,
For to tread in His path all the while
And in Him all our cares to confide.
Our dear Lord let us serve on this day,
His rich gifts we’ll strive to employ,
When we’ve spread His good Word far and wide,
His blessing of heav’n we’ll enjoy.
Oh, come, come, come, come, come to the throne of the Lord,
Lift our voices in worship and praise;
Let the grace of the Lord come upon us,
Let us love Him with all of our days.
