Eb       Bb       Eb
[tab]         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.
