Blest day of God,
most calm, most bright,
The first, the best of days;
The laborer’s rest,
the saint’s delight,
The day of prayer and praise.
My Savior’s face
made thee to shine;
His rising thee did raise;
And made thee
heavenly and divine
Beyond all other days.
The firstfruits oft
a blessing prove
To all the sheaves behind;
And they the day
of Christ who love,
A happy week shall find.
This day I must with God appear;
For, Lord, the day is Thine;
Help me to spend it in Thy fear,
And thus to make it mine.
