Come, O Sabbath day, and bring
Peace
and healing on thy wing;
And
to every troubled breast
Speak
of the divine behest:
Thou
shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
2
Earthly
longings bid retire,
Quench
the passions’ hurtful fire;
To
the wayward, sin oppressed,
Bring
thou thy divine behest:
Thou
shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
3
Wipe
from evey cheek the tear,
Banish
care and silence fear;
All
things working for the best,
Teach
us the divine behest:
Thou
shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
