Jehovah's Rest

Verse 1

Holy day! Jehovah's rest! Of creation's week the best; Last of all the chosen seven, Blest of God, to man 'twas given.

While we praise our Maker's name, We his faithful promise claim; Meet with us, dear Lord, we pray, Thine are we, and thine this day.

Verse 4

Let thy Spirit on us shine, Help us keep thy law divine; Day by day so shall we be Shining lights, O Lord, for thee.
