Another Six Days’ Work Is Done

Verse 1

Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day that God has blessed.

Verse 2

Come, bless the Lord, whose love as signs
So sweet a rest to weary minds;
A blessed antepast is given,
On this day more than all the seven.

Verse 3

O that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies,
And draw from Christ that sweet repose
Which none but he who feels it knows.

Verse 4

This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the best pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
