The lord’s own hallow’d day of rest
Meter: L.M
1
The lord’s own hallow’d day of rest
day most beautiful and bright:
given to us by God for us.
a day to rest therein.
2
Six days He provided for us
To do all that we have to do ;
The seventh day He set aside,
It is God’s hallow'd day of rest.

Let us forsake our vain pursuits
Our daily duties for six days,
Our work today, let hallow’d be,
Because the day belongs to God.
4
Strength from above enerves us well
For service in the house of God;
Let us sing a joyful anthem,
On the Lord’s day, this early morn.
5
Very early in the morning
On the Lord’s hallowed day of rest
Let us raise a joyful chorus
And let us lift our hearts to pray.
