"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#48a

48a. Sweet is the day of sacred rest

1 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. 2 Then shall I share a glorious part, When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 3 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired and wished below; And ev’ry pow’r find sweet employ, In that eternal world of joy.
