Again the Lord’s Own Day Is Here

Again the Lord’s own day is here

The day to Christ­ian peo­ple dear

As

week by week

it bids them tell

How Je­sus rose from death and hell.

For by His flock their Lord de­clared

His re­sur­rect­ion should be shared;

And we who trust in Him to save

With Him are ris­en from the grave.

We

one and all

of Him pos­sessed

Are with ex­ceed­ing trea­sures blessed

For all He did

and all He bare

He gives us as our own to share.

Eternal glo­ry

rest on high

A bless­èd im­mor­tal­ity

True peace and glad­ness

and a throne

Are all His gifts

and all our own.

And there­fore un­to Thee we sing

O Lord of peace

eter­nal King;

Thy love we praise

Thy name ad­ore

Both on this day and ev­er­more.
