GRH 047 Praise Our Father for this Lords Day

(1)
Praise our Father for this Lord’s day,
Praise His goodness now and always.
By His grace we all do live;
In His mercy He does forgive.

(2)
After toiling thro’ the long week,
Now we come to hear Thy voice speak.
In Thy house may all be blessed,
Here may all find strength and true rest.

(3)
Sometimes we bear pain and sorrow,
Sometimes darkness hides the morrow;
Father, Father, leave us not,
When sore trouble falls as our lot.

(4)
Sometimes we find peace and gladness,
Calm and hope in joy or sadness.
On our way God sheds His light,
Loses us ever, day and dark night.

(5)
Here we come our lives to offer,
Hearts and minds we humbly proffer.
Father, hear us while we pray,
And receive us, now and for aye.
