Hallowed day and Holy

Thou holy day of rest

We ought to give one full day

To God, the good and kind

Other days bring the tear drops

Thou wipes the tears away

Thou art a day of gladness

I love thy happy morn.

Hallowed day and holy

There is no work today

We will suspend our labour

Until tomorrow’s day

How beautiful and how bright

Thou blessed day of rest

Other days speak of troubles

But thou give hope of rest.

Hallowed day and holy

Hear how the church bell says

Give one day to thy maker

Who gave to you six days.

We shall take leave of labour

To go and worship there

Both we and all our dear friends

On to the house of pray’r

Hallowed day and holy

Thy hour delights me so

A taste of heav’n you give us

Like that eternal rest

Lord, let me be partaker

Of rest beyond the grave

To sing and serve thee ever

With all Thy saints above.
