And now this holy day by Henry Thomas Smart — Lyrics
1. And now this holy day
Is drawing to its end,
Once more, to Thee, O Lord,
Our thanks and prayers we send.
2. We thank Thee for this rest
From earthly care and strife;
We thank Thee for this help
To higher, holier life.
3. We thank Thee for Thy house;
It is Thy palacegate
Where Thou, upon Thy throne
Of mercy, still dost wait.
4. We thank Thee for Thy Word,
Thy Gospel’s joyful sound;
