1. Another six days’ work is done, | |||
Another Sabbath is begun; | |||
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, | |||
Improve the day thy God has blessed. | |||
2. Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns | |||
So sweet a rest to wearied minds; | |||
Provides an antepast of heaven, | |||
And gives this day the food of seven.}} | |||

3. O that our thoughts and thanks may rise | |||
As grateful incense to the skies; | |||
And draw from heaven that sweet repose, | |||
Which none but he that feels it knows. | |||
4. This heavenly calm within the breast | |||
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, | |||
Which for the church of God remains | |||
The end of cares, the end of pains.}} | |||

In various scenes both old and new; | |||
With praise we think on mercies past | |||
With hope, we future pleasures taste. | |||
6. 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!}} | |||
