Another six days’ work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
May we enjoy in holy rest
The sacred day which God has blessed.
O that our prayers and thanks may rise,
As grateful incense to the skies.
And draw from heaven that sweet repose,
Which he who trusts in Jesus knows.
That heavenly calm within the breast,
Is the sure pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
In holy duties, let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a sabbath thus to spend
In hope of one that ne’er shall end!
