Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Sacred Harp #48a (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast.
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David’s harp of solemn sound.
2 Then shall I share a glorious part,
When grace hath well refined my heart,
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
3 Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desired and wished below;
And ev’ry pow’r find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy. Languages: English Tune Title: DEVOTION
Sweet is the day of sacred rest
