"
To
shew
forth
thy
lovingkindness
in
the
morning,
and
with
faithfulness
every
night,
upon
an
instrument
of
ten
strings,
and
upon
a
psaltery;
upon
the
harp
with
a
solemn
sound."-Ps.

1.
Sweet
is
the day
of
sac
-
red
rest;
No
mor
-
tal
cares
shall
seize
my
breast;
O
may
my
heart
in
tune
be
found,
Like
David's
harp
of
solemn
sound;
sound.
2.
Then
shall
I
share
a
glo-rious
part,
When
grace
hath
well
refined
my
heart,
And
fresh
sup-plies
of
joy
are
shed,
Like
ho
-
ly
oil,
to
cheer
my
head;
head.
3. Then
shall
I
see,
and
hear,
and
know
All
I
de
-
sired
and
wished
be-low;
And
ev-'ry
power
find
sweet
em-ploy,
In
that
e
-
ter
-
nal
world
of
joy;
joy.
