Holy day! Jehovah's rest!

Holy day! Jehovah's rest!Of creation's week the best;Last of all the chosen seven,Blest of God, to man 't was given.

First his six day's work was done,Then the Sabbath hour begun;Thus he blessed the seventh day,Thus in resting we obey.

While we praise our Maker's name,We his faithful promise claim;Meet with us, dear Lord, we pray,Thine are we, and thine this day.

Let thy Spirit on us shine,Help us keep thy law divine;Day by day so shall we beShining lights, O Lord, for thee.
