The Lord's own hallow'd day of rest O day most beautiful and bright: A day given to us by God For us, a day to rest therein.

Six days He provided for us To do all that we have to do; The seventh day He set aside, It is God's hallow'd day of rest.

mf

Let us forsake our vain pursuits Our daily duties for six days, Our work today, let hallow'd be, Because the day belongs to God.

f

Strength from above enerves us well For service in the house of God; Let us sing a joyful anthem, On the Lord's day; this early morn.

ff

Very early in the morning On the Lord's hallowed day of rest Let us raise a joyful chorus And let us lift our hearts to pray.
