Another six days' work is done

1

Another six days' work is done,Another Sabbath is begun;Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,Improve the day that God has blessed.

2

Come, bless the Lord, whose love assignsSo sweet a rest to weary minds:A blessed antepast is given,On this day more than all the seven.

3

O that our thoughts and thanks may riseAs grateful incense to the skies,And draw from Christ that sweet reposeWhich none but he who feels it knows.

4

This heavenly calm within the breast –Is the best pledge of glorious rest,Which for the church of God remains,The end of cares, the end of pains.
