Crowning jewel of creation,
Blest
and hallowed, sanctified;
Time
and changes all transcending,
Shared
for ever, glorified.
Refrain
2
Sin
and sickness, rayer and weeping
Cease
at close of earthly days;
But
Thy Sabbath is eternal,
Joyful
thanks to Thee we raise!
3
Teach
us, Lord, in storm or sunshine
How
to truly rest in Thee,
May
Thy Sabbath peace enfold us
And
our shelter ever be.
