THIS IS THE DAY OF REST

1. This is the day of rest:
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast-
Shed Thou Thy freshening dew.

2. This is the day of peace:
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.

3. This is the day of prayer:
Let earth to heaven draw near;
Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there,
Come down to meet us here.

4. This is the seventh of days;
Send forth Thy quick’ning breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death!

A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
