Verse 1:
EbBbEb
O day of rest and gladness,
BbEb
O day of joy and light,
EbBbEb
O blam of care and sadness,
BbEb
Most beauti-ful, most bright;
AbEb
On thee, the high and low-ly,
BbEb
Who bend be-fore the throne,
AbEb
Sing, holy, holy ho-ly,
BbEb
To the E-ternal One.
Verse 2:
EbBbEb
Thou art a port pro-tected,
BbEb
From storms that round us rise,
EbBbEbA garden inter-sected,
BbEb
With streams of Para-dise;
AbEb
Thou art a cooling foun-tain,
BbEb
In life's dry, dreary sand;
AbEb
From thee, like Pisgah's moun-tain,
BbEb
We view our promised land.
Verse 3:
EbBbEbA day of sweet re-flection,
BbEb
Thou art, a day of love;
EbBbEbA day to raise af-fection,
BbEb
From earth to things a-bove.
AbEb
New graces ever gain-ing,
BbEb
From this our day of rest,
AbEb
We seek the rest re-maining,
BbEb
In mansions of the blest.
