A German Melody
[Verse 1]
Eb Bb Eb
O day of rest and gladness,
Bb Eb
O day of joy and light,
Eb Bb Eb
O blam of care and sadness,
Bb Eb
Most beauti-ful, most bright;
Ab Eb
On thee, the high and low-ly,
Bb Eb
Who bend be-fore the throne,
Ab Eb
Sing, holy, holy ho-ly,
Bb Eb
To the E-ternal One.
[Verse 2]
Eb Bb Eb
Thou art a port pro-tected,
Bb Eb
From storms that round us rise,
Eb Bb Eb
A garden inter-sected,
Bb Eb
With streams of Para-dise;
Ab Eb
Thou art a cooling foun-tain,
Bb Eb
In life's dry, dreary sand;
Ab Eb
From thee, like Pisgah's moun-tain,
Bb Eb
We view our promised land.
[Verse 3]
Eb Bb Eb
A day of sweet re-flection,
Bb Eb
Thou art, a day of love;
Eb Bb Eb
A day to raise af-fection,
Bb Eb
From earth to things a-bove.
Ab Eb
New graces ever gain-ing,
Bb Eb
From this our day of rest,
Ab Eb
We seek the rest re-maining,
Bb Eb
In mansions of the blest.
