We've entered now on holy time

1

We've entered now on holy time,God's blessed rest-day all divine;The labors of the week are past,Now let earth's cares aside be cast.

2

O let us help repair the breach,And all of God's commandments teach,Calling his rest-day our delight,Thus walking blameless in his sight,

3

This holy rest to us is given,To call our minds from earth to heaven;That we may not forget the Lord,And trample down his holy word.

4

The faith of Jesus, too, we need;For thus the flying angel said:Commands of God and Jesus' faithWill shield us in the day of wrath.
