1AGAIN the day returns of holy rest,
Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest ;
When, like his own, he bade its beams appear,
And all be peace, and all be peace.

2Let us devote this consecrated day
To learn his will, and all we learn obey ;
So shall he hear, when fervently we raise
Our supplications, and our songs of praise.

3Lord of all worlds ! incline thy bounteous ear ;
Thy children's voice in tender mercy hear ;
Hear thy blest promise, fixed as hills, to mind ;
To all who seek, thou, Lord, art ever kind.

4Father in Heaven ! in whom our hopes confide,
Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide ;
Through life our guardian, and in death our friend,
Glory supreme be thine without end !
