ELW #521 O Day of Rest and Gladness v. 1-2, 4

1	O day of rest and gladness,
	O day of joy and light,
	O balm for care and sadness,
	most beautiful, most bright:
	on you the high and lowly,
	through ages joined in tune,
	sing, “Holy, holy, holy,”
	to the great God triune.

2	On you, at earth's creation,
	the light first had its birth;
	on you, for our salvation,
	Christ rose from depths of earth;
	on you, our Lord victorious
	the Spirit sent from heav'n;
	and thus on you, most glorious,
	a threefold light was giv'n.

4	New graces ever gaining
	from this our day of rest,
	we reach the rest remaining
	to spirits of the blest.
	We sing to you our praises,
	O Father, Spirit, Son;
	the church its voice upraises
	to you, blest Three in One.

Text: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885, alt.

ELW #719   Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life   
                      v. 4-6

4	The cup of water giv'n for you
	still holds the freshness of your grace;
	yet long these multitudes to view
	the strong compassion in your face.

5	O Master, from the mountainside
	make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
	among these restless throngs abide;
	oh, tread the city's streets again;

6	Till all the world shall learn your love,
	and follow where your feet have trod;
	till glorious from your heav'n above
	shall come the city of our God.

Text: Frank M. North, 1850-1935, alt.

ELW #536  God Be With Us Till We Meet Again  

1	God be with you till we meet again;
	by good counsels guide, uphold you,
	with a shepherd's care enfold you;
	God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain
	Till we meet, (till we meet,) 
till we meet, (till we meet again,) 
till we meet at Jesus' feet; (till we meet,) 
till we meet, (till we meet,)
	till we meet, (till we meet again.)
	God be with you till we meet again.

2	God be with you till we meet again;
	holy wings securely hide you,
	daily manna still provide you;
	God be with you till we meet again.  Refrain

3	God be with you till we meet again;
	when life's perils thick confound you,
	put unfailing arms around you;
	God be with you till we meet again.  Refrain

Text: Jeremiah E. Rankin, 1828-1904, alt.
