Another Six Days’ Work Is Begun Hymn Lyrics

1

Another six days’ work is done,

Another Sabbath is begun ;

Return, my soul, enjoy the rest ;

Improve the day thy God has blest.

2

Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns

So sweet a rest to wearied minds,

Provides an antepast of heaven,

And gives this day the food of seven.

3

Oh that our thoughts and thanks may rise

As grateful incense to the skies,

And draw from heaven that sweet repose

Which none but he that feels it knows.

4

This heavenly calm within the breast

Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,

Which for the Church of God remains ;

The end of cares, the end of pains.

5

In holy duties let the day,

In holy pleasures, pass away :

How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,

In hope of one that ne’er shall end!
