464 Dedication or Anniversary DAY OF REST 7. 6. 7. 6. D. James W. Elliott, 1874 3 And oft as here we gather, And hearts in worship blend, And fervent prayer ascend; Rise to the things above, And all men learn Thy love, 4 And as the years roll over, About this sacred shrine, Its glory, ever be, Have found their way to Thee, fore us have found their re-ward; When the shad - ow of death fell up on them, we N our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer For the saints who before us have found their reward; But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. 2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even, He called them away from our worship below; Had girt them with grace for the way they should go. And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; And still they were seeking the city of God. 4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found Him, Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; William H. Draper, 1894, 1910 GOD 3 God be with you till we meet again, When life's perils thick confound you, Put His arms unfailing round you, God be with you till we meet again. 1 MOD be with you till we meet again, By His counsels guide, uphold you, Till we meet, till we meet, Till we meet, till we meet, 2 God be with you till we meet again, Neath His wings protecting hide you, Daily manna still divide you, God be with you till we meet again! + God be with you till we meet again, Keep love's banner floating o'er you, Till we meet, till we meet, Till we meet, till we meet, Jeremiah E.
