Hymn 47

Six days of work and toil are past

Meter: L.M.

Scripture: Exd. 20:11

1

Six days of work and toil are past

This one begun, is meant for rest

Come thou heart, and take thine rest

Rejoice thou in the day God bless’d

2

O Lord, we rejoice at Thy work

In various hues, both new and ok

We praise Thee, Lord, for mercy g

In earnest hope of that to come.

3

Let all our thoughts and praises rise

Like sweet incense unto Thy throne

That it may bring down joy untold

Known only to those made holy.

4

This heav’ly peace of heart is giv’n

As witness of a glorious rest,

To the ones who have been made pure

The end of afflictions and cares.
