The Sabbath

Author: Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XIII (1790) Topics: At the Opening of Public Worship First Line: Another six days work is done Lyrics: 1 Another six days work is done, Another sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God hath bless'd. 2 Come bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds; Provides an antipast of heaven, And gives this day the food of seven. 3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise As greatful incense to the skies. And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he that feels it knows. 4 This heavenly calm, within 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 pleasures taste. 6 In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet, a sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end!
