Six days of toil and care
1
Six days of toil and care,I bid you all adieu;And now, O peaceful Sabbath hours,I gladly welcome you.
2
My heart with rapture turnsTo Eden's vale so fair;Then forward to the heavenly world,And views the Sabbath there.
3
Sweet day of rest, through theeShall memory faithful proveTo him who made the earth and sea,And starry worlds above.
4
Each Sabbath spent arightShall bring us nearer thee,Till in that glorious land of lightWe're made forever free.
