Hymn 554

After six days that he has worked

Scripture: Exodus 20:8

1

After six days that he has worked

He rested on the seventh day

He commanded us to do the same

And keep that day hollow’d for him.

2

We want to fulfill that command

In this thy holy house today

As long as we are here today

Let us know that thou are here too.

3

As we open thy holy book

Let us read with humility

Let us know that thou speaks to us

And let us listen to thy word.

4

Show us the meaning by Thyself

We are so simple and unwise

Thy words are very deep indeed

And our understanding is small.

5

Come and be with all our teachers

Anoint them with the Holy Ghost

Give them the understanding Lord

However deep Thy word may be.

6

And when we shall depart this place

Please Lord be with us on Thy way

That we may keep remembering Thee

Until another Sunday School.
