Safely Thro' Another Week
John Newton
Lowell Mason

Safely through another week God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek, waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest,
Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest.

While we pray for pardoning grace, through the dear Redeemer's Name,
Show Thy reconciling face, take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this day in Thee,
From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this day in Thee.

May Thy gospel's joyful sound conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound, bring relief for all complaints;
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till on earth Thy Kingdom come,
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove till on earth Thy Kingdom come.
