Text Based On Hebrews Chapter 4 (KJV)
For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

SWEET IS THE WORK, MY GOD, MY KING
1.
Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
to praise Thy name, give thanks and sing,
To show Thy love by morning light,
and talk of all Thy truth at night.
2.
Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
no mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
like David’s harp of solemn sound!
3.
My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
and bless His works and bless His Word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine,
how deep Thy counsels, how divine!
4.
When grace has purified my heart,
then I shall share a glorious part;
And fresh supplies of joy be shed,
like holy oil to cheer my head.
5.
Then shall I see, and hear, and know,
all I desired or wished below;
And every hour find sweet employ
in that eternal world of joy.
