Six days shall work be done,
but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day,
a sabbath of rest to the LORD:

SPEED ON THY TRUTH ETERNAL ONE
1.
Speed on Thy truth, Eternal One,
Thy holy law proclaim,
Till every land beneath the sun-
Has heard Jehovah’s name.
We own, O Lord, Thy sov’reign power,
And bow before Thy throne-
To sing Thy glories in this hour,
Immortal God alone.
2.
Thy truth shall stand, unchanging God,
Long as the ages roll,
Though trampled oft where sin has trod,
And error chained the soul.
Arise and shine, ye chosen band-
Ye people, scattered few;
No work so high, so deep, so grand,
As that now given you.
3.
We near that hour of calm sur cease-
From sorrow, death, and sin,
That brings the weary one release,
And ushers heaven in.
Awake, arise, arise and shine;
Proclaim His truth abroad;
It is thy Saviour’s work and thine,
Thou messenger of God.
4.
We sing Thy praise, eternal Lord,
Thy glorious truth proclaim,
Thy mandate is a shield and sword,
Thy Word a living flame.
Long as the years of earth shall roll-
Long as eternity-
We’ll bow to Thy benign control,
And worship only Thee.
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
