Sabbath day of rest and cheer!
Day divine, to me so dear!
Come, O come to old and young,
Gath’ring all for prayer and song.

Now the week of toil is o’er,
And in peace we sit once more
At our Fa­ther’s ample board,
Listening to His gracious Word.

Lord, our God, we seek Thy face,
Bless us with Thy saving grace;
May Thy heralds ev­ery­where
Clear Thy Gos­pel truth declare.

Let Thy mighty Word hold sway
Over men on earth today;
Our poor souls, good Shepherd, feed,
Into pastures green us lead.

May, O Lord, the day be near,
When we pass from trials here
Into Thine eter­nal rest,
In the mansions of the blest.
