- Six days of work and toil are past
This one begun, is meant for rest
Come thou my heart, and take thine rest
Rejoice thou in blessed day of God.
- Let all our thoughts and praises rise
Like sweet incense unto Thy throne;
That it may bring down joy untold
Known only to the Holy Saints.
- This heavenly peace of heart is given
As witness of a glorious rest,
Unto the sanctified, the Saints
The end of afflictions and cares.
- O Lord, we rejoice at Thy work,
In various hues, both new and old
We praise Thee, Lord, for mercy given
In earnest hope of that to come.
- Give unto God thy worship day
Be glad, today before the Lord;
Oh, how sweet to expect in hope
The eternal rest high above. Amen.
