Six Days of Labor Now Are Past
VERSE 1
Six days
of labor now are past;
Thou
restest, Holy God;
And of
Thy finished work has said,
That all
is very good.
VERSE 2
Yet
while the seventh day is blessed,
Hallowed
for rest divine,
Behold,
a new creation needs
That
mighty power of Thine.
VERSE 3
Ten
thousands voices praise Thy Name
In earth
and sea and sky;
One
sinner by his sin has marred
The
blissful harmony.
VERSE 4
O Lord,
create man’s heart anew,
The
heart of stone remove:
Then
hymns of praise again shall rise,
The
fruits of holy love.
VERSE 5
O for
the songs that Thou wilt bless,
Where
heart and voice agree;
O for
the prayers that plead aright
With Thy
dread majesty.
VERSE 6
All
praise to God, the Three in One,
Who high
in glory reigns;
Who by
His Word hath all things made,
And by
His Word sustains.
