And now this holy day

From Oremus Hymnal

And now this holy day
is drawing to its end;
once more, to thee, O Lord,
our thanks and praise ascend.

We thank thee for this rest
from earthly care and strife;
we thank thee for this help
to higher, holier life.

We thank thee for thy house,
it is thy palace-gate,
where thou upon thy throne
of mercy, still dost wait.

We thank thee for thy word,
thy Gospel's joyful sound;
O may its holy fruits
within our hearts abound.

To God the Father, Son,
and Spirit, glory be,
from all in earth and heaven,
through all eternity.
