This is the day of sacred rest
1
This is the day of sacred rest,Which God hath sanctified and blessed,When throned in majesty he stood,And viewed his works, and called them good.
2
The heavenly host their harps employ,The sons of God gave shouts of joy;Through heaven and earth his praises rang,The morning stars together sang.
3
Come, then, ye weary souls oppressedCome and enjoy this holy rest;Let humble songs like incense rise,And prayer and praise ascend the skies.
