Come, O Sabbath Day

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.
