<p>Another six days’ work is done<br>
|
|
Another Sabbath is begun;<br>
|
|
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,<br>
|
|
Improve the day that God hath blest.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, praise the Lord, Whose love assigns<br>
|
|
So sweet a rest to weary minds;<br>
|
|
Provides an antepast of heaven<br>
|
|
And gives this day the food of seven.</p>
|
|
<p>O that our thoughts and thanks may rise<br>
|
|
As grateful incense to the skies!<br>
|
|
And draw from Heaven that sweet repose<br>
|
|
Which none but he who feels it knows.</p>
|
|
<p>A heavenly calm pervades the breast<br>
|
|
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,<br>
|
|
Which for the Church of God remains,<br>
|
|
The end of cares, the end of pains.</p>
|
|
<p>With joy, great God, Thy works we view,<br>
|
|
In various scenes, both old and new;<br>
|
|
With praise we think on mercies past,<br>
|
|
With hope we future pleasure taste.</p>
|
|
<p>In holy duties let the day,<br>
|
|
In holy comforts pass away;<br>
|
|
The Sabbath thus we love to spend,<br>
|
|
In hope of one which ne’er shall end.</p>
