Hymn 54
How sweet it is this holy day
1
How sweet it is this holy day
A day most beautiful
To set aside all earthly care
And lift our thoughts to heav’n
2
How sweet it is to have the joy
That comes through pard’ning grace!
To say with boldness, as a son
“Father who art in heav’n.”
3
To hear the words that bring sweet Peace
Sent through Thy servant’s mouth
A broken heart that weeps for sin,
And sees the gates of heav’n.
4
And if thou come to Jesus Christ
To wash Thy sins away
The one who knows and sees the heart
Will send abundant grace.
5
Welcome, thou holy day, welcome,
A day most beautiful
Assembled here are we to pay
Our vows and gratitude.
