Sabbath Song

 

I was glad when they said unto me, 

Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Psalm 122:1

Is He Worthy?

Praise God for goodness granting, nay, commanding Sabbath rest

Praise Him for the implanting and expounding of His Word

He beckons us to gather, there to be divinely blessed

And keep the hope within us anchored to truth undeterred

As we worship together, our Father, Saviour, Friend

And exhort one another to be faithful to the end

Praise God for invitations to come to His house to pray

To join the celebration that will fill eternity

To share in the communion of all who await The Day

Of glorious reunion when face to face we shall see

God who so loved the world He gave His Son to pay sin’s debt

And save us from death’s hopeless grave; oh come, lest we forget

Lest we forget God’s faithfulness, love’s favors and mercies

Lest we fall prey to hatefulness so prevalent and bold

Lest lie by lie and vice by vice we drift from his decrees

Lest we forget His sacrifice and our love grows cold

Lest we, no longer glad to go to the house of the Lord

Miss the precious implanting and expounding of His Word
