Hail hap­py morn­ing, hail, ho­ly day,
Calling from earth­ly la­bors away,
Sweet words of wis­dom, glad songs of joy,
Now be our best employ.

Refrain

Sing once more the hap­py, hap­py song,
While the gold­en mo­ments roll along,
Come to the tem­ple, come, come away,
Hallow the Sab­bath day.

Emblem of Hea­ven, sweet day of rest,
In thy re­mem­brance, may we be blessed.
So may our songs and lives ev­er say,
Hallow the Sab­bath day.

Refrain

Rest from our la­bors, rest from our cares,
Rest in our prais­es, rest in our pray­ers,
So the com­mand­ment would we ob­ey,
Hallow the Sab­bath day.
