His Worthy Praise ‎#64

64. Remember the Sabbath Day

1 Remember the blessed Sabbath Day and keep it holy,
For this is the day that God has made and richly blest;
Go into the sacred house of pray’r,
And meet the divine Redeemer there;
For waiting for all in his presence fair
Are peace and rest.

Refrain:
Keep it holy, God’s day of rest;
Remember the day which the Lord hath made,
And which he blest!

2 Remember the holy Sabbath Day and break it never;
Be free from the things of earth awhile and look above;
With minds in accord, we all should meet
Around the Redeemer’s holy feet;
And, waiting his blessings, with voices sweet,
Exalt his love. [Refrain]

3 Remember the holy Sabbath Day which God has given;
Shut out from the soul all sounds of strife, let labor cease;
Come into his presence with a song
And rest in his love the whole day long;
For there will the Holy One make you strong,
And give you peace. [Refrain]

4 Remember the blessed Sabbath Day and keep it holy;
Oh, let it be spent beneath the wings of heaven’s Dove;
And there let us all our sins confess,
And grow in his holy righteousness;
That stronger our spirits may be to bless
The world by love. [Refrain]
