Lyrics
Come, O Sabbath day and bring peace and healing on thy wing:
And to every weary one let a word of blessing come:
Thou shalt rest. Thou shalt rest.
Welcome Sabbath! Let depart ev’ry care of troubled heart.
Now the daily task is done, let a word of comfort come:
Thou thalt rest. Thou shalt rest.
Work and sorrow cast away! Sabbath is for prayer and play.
With the setting* of the sun, let a cheering message come:
Thou shalt rest. Thou shalt rest.
*or “rising”
