70. Day of rest

1 Day of rest! Day of praise!
Day the best of all days!
On the weary ariseth thy light,
Resting, calming and healing, like night.
Day of heavenly rest,
Of all days the best!

2 Day of rest! Day of praise!
Day the best of all days!
Day of heavenly beauty the dawn,
Rising over the weary and worn;
Day of heavenly rest,
Of all days the best!

3 Day of rest! Day of praise!
Day the best of all days!
Here we gather a blessing to seek,
To ennoble and chasten the week;
Day of heavenly rest,
Of all days the best!

3 Day of rest! Day of praise!
Day the best of all days!
While with singing our praises we pay,
Teach us, Father, thine own better way
To thy heavenly rest,
Of all blessings best!
