This is the day of sacred rest

1This is the day of sacred rest,
Which God hath sanctified and blessed,
And hallowed by his majesty's design,
And viewed his works, and called them good.

2The heavenly host their harps employ,
The sons of God give shouts of joy;
Through heaven and earth his praises ring,
The morning stars together sang.

3Come, then, ye weary souls oppressed,
Come and enjoy this holy rest;
Let humble songs like incense rise,
And prayer and praise ascend the skies.
