Sweet is the work, my God, my King,To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing!To show thy love by morning light,And talk of all thy truth by night.
2
Sweet is the day of sacred rest;No mortal cares shall seize my breast;O may my heart in tune be found,Like David's harp of solemn sound!
3
When grace has purified my heart,Then I shall share a glorious part;And fresh supplies of joy are shed,Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
4
Then shall I see, and hear, and know,All I desired or wished below;And every hour find sweet employ,In that eternal world of joy.
