84. O sacred day of peace and joy

1 O sacred day of peace and joy,
Thy hours are ever dear to me;
Ne'er may a sinful thought destroy
The holy calm I find in thee.

2 Dear are thy peaceful hours to me,
For God has given them in his love;
To tell how calm, how blest shall be
The endless day of heaven above.
