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.
