Day of Joy and Thanksgiving

The coming to fellowship on that day of the Lord called the Sabbath.
"Stir up your hearts in an especial manner to the greatest alacrity and joy, in speaking and singing the praises of God. The Lord's day is a day of joy and thanksgiving, and the praises of God are the highest and holiest employment upon earth. And if ever you should do any thing with all your might, and with a joyful and triumphing frame of soul, it is this. Be glad that you may join with the sacred assemblies, in heart and voice, in so heavenly a work."
--Richard Baxter, A Christian Directory
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints." --Psalm 19:1
