Sabbath Song

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.Psalm 122:1 Praise God for goodness granting, nay, commanding Sabbath restPraise Him for the implanting and expounding of His WordHe beckons us to gather, there to be divinely blessedAnd keep the hope within us anchored to truth undeterredAs we worship together, our Father, Saviour, FriendAnd exhort one another to be faithful to the end Praise God for invitations to come to His house to prayTo join the celebration that will fill eternityTo share in the communion of all who await The DayOf glorious reunion when face to face we shall seeGod who so loved the world He gave His Son to pay sin’s debtAnd save us from death’s hopeless grave; oh come, lest we forget Lest we forget God’s faithfulness, love’s favors and merciesLest we fall prey to hatefulness so prevalent and boldLest lie by lie and vice by vice we drift from his decreesLest we forget His sacrifice and our love grows coldLest we, no longer glad to go to the house of the LordMiss the precious implanting and expounding of His Word © Janet Martin
