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.
