Dear Lord, We Would Thy Praises Sing

1Dear Lord, we would thy praises sing,
On this thy holy day;
With grateful hearts our tribute bring,
And to thee homage pay.
And to thee homage pay.

2This day, which thou for us hast blest And set apart as thine;
This day, when God himself did rest Hath honors all divine.
Hath honors all divine.

3Lord, we would turn away our feet From this thy holy day,
And call its rest and worship sweet,
Not doing our own way.
Not doing our own way.

4That we may thus restore the breach Which in thy law is made,
We need thy grace our hearts to teach,
We need thy Spirit's aid.
We need thy Spirit's aid.

5Oh! give us wisdom from above To worship thee aright,
Till we shall meet Him whom we love,
And faith is lost in sight.
And faith is lost in sight.
