223 As We Begin Another Week

1 As we begin another week, In Jesus' name your grace we seek. God, grant that through these seven days No evil may befall our ways. 2 Your gentle blessings, Lord, outpour On all our labors evermore. Our hearts with your good Spirit fill That we may gladly do your will. 3 In ev'ry season, ev'ry place, May we recall your Word of grace Until, when life's brief day is past, We reach eternal joy at last. 4 And keep with angels in your rest The endless Sabbath of the blest. Grant this to us through Christ, your Son, Who reigns with you upon your throne.
