Another day preserved by grace

Verse 1
Another day preserv’d by grace,
We end it with our Saviour’s praise,
Symphonious to the quire above,
And triumph in his guardian love!
Angels, with your wings outspread
Take your stand around our bed.

Verse 2
We soon shall wake, with you to sing
In presence of our heavenly King,
With you unutterably blest
Shall always praise, and never rest:
Smooth, as the melodious lay,
Endless ages roll away.

Verse 3
O that the joyful day were come,
Which calls our happy spirits home,
O could we join our friends in light,
And reach our Father’s house to night,
Sweetly close our willing eyes,
Open them in paradise!
