EN 123 Another Six Days’ Work Is Done

Exod.20.1

Versi Version 1

1

Another six days’ work is done

Another Sabbath is begun;

Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,

Improve the day that God hath blest.

2

Come, praise the Lord, whose love assigns

So sweet a rest to weary minds;

Provides an antepast of Heaven

And gives this day the food of seven.

3

O that our thoughts and thanks may rise

As grateful incense to the skies!

And draw from Heaven that sweet repose

Which none but he who feels it knows.

4

A heavenly calm pervades the breast

Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,

Which for the Church of God remains,

The end of cares, the end of pains.

5

With joy, great God, Thy works we view,

In various scenes, both old and new;

With praise we think on mercies past,

With hope we future pleasure taste.

6

In holy duties let the day,

In holy comforts pass away;

The Sabbath thus we love to spend,

In hope of one which ne’er shall end.
