Hail! Sacred Day of Earthly Rest

 

VERSE 1

Hail! sacred day of earthly rest,

From toil and trouble free:

Hail! day of light, that bringest light

And joy to me.

 

VERSE 2

A holy stillness, breathing calm

On all the world around,

Uplifts my soul, O God, to Thee,

Where rest is found.

 

VERSE 3

On all I think, or say, or do,

A ray of light divine

Is shed, O God, this day by Thee,

For it is Thine.

 

VERSE 4

No sound of jarring strife is heard,

As weekly labors cease;

No voice, but those that sweetly sing

Sweet songs of peace.

 

VERSE 5

For those who sing with saints below

Glad songs of heavenly love,

Shall sing—when songs on earth have ceased—

With saints above.

 

VERSE 6

Accept, O God, my hymn of praise,

That Thou, this day, hast given

Sweet foretaste of that endless day

Of rest in Heaven.
