Come, O Sabbath Day

1

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 every 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!
