CLV. The Lord of Sabbath let us praise

1 The Lord of Sabbath let us praise,
In concert with the blest,
Who, joyful in harmonious lays,
Employ an endless rest.

2 Thus, Lord, while we remember thee,
We blest and pious grow,
By hymns of praise we learn to be
Triumphant here below.

3 On this glad day a brighter scene
Of glory was display'd
By God th' eternal Word, than when
This universe was made.

4. He rises, who mankind has bought
With grief and pain extreme;
’Twas great to speak the world from nought,
’Twas greater to redeem!
