Hymn 33: Six days of work and toil are past

Ojo mefa t’ ise koja

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. This heavenly peace of heart is given
    As witness of a glorious rest,
    Unto the sanctified, the Saints
    The end of afflictions and cares.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
