This is the day the Lord hath blessed

1This is the day the Lord hath blessed, Which God hath sanctified and blest, When throned in majesty he stood, And viewed his works and called them good.

2The heavens had their harps unstrung, The sons of God gave shouts of joy; Through Heaven and earth the praises rang, The morning stars together sang.

3Come, then, ye weary souls oppressed, Come and enjoy this holy rest; Let humble songs like incense rise, And prayer and praise ascend the skies.
