“Six days shall thou labour” -Exd. 20:9
1 The Lord’s own hallow’d day of rest O day most beautiful and bright: A day given to us by God For us, a day to rest therein.
2 Six days He provided for us To do all that we have to do; The seventh day He set aside, It is God’s hallow’d day of rest.
3 Let us forsake our vain pursuits Our daily duties for six days, Our work today, let hallow’d be, Because the day belongs to God.
4 Strength from above enerves us well For service in the house of God; Let us sing a joyful anthem, On the Lord’s day; this early morn.
5 Very early in the morning On the Lord’s hallowed day of rest ff Let us raise a joyful chorus, And let us lift our hearts to pray
