1 Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
Return my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God hath blest.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of seven.
3 This heavenly calm within the breast,
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
4 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise,
As grateful incense to the skies:
And draw from heaven that sweet repose,
Which none but he that feels it knows.
5 In holy duties let the day
In holy pleasures pass away.
How blest a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end.
