Another Six Days' Work

1Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day that God has bless'd.

2Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to weary minds:
A blessed antepast is giv'n,
On this day more than all the sev'n.

3O that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies,
And draw from Christ that sweet repose Which none but he who feels it knows.

4This heav'nly calm within the breast Is the best pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.
