Let the Sabbath day be blest

1. Let the Sabbath day be blest,
Day of joy and day of rest;
Songs of praise ascend on high,
Hallelujahs fill the sky.

2. Let the Sabbath day be blest,
Day of joy and day of rest;
Humble prayer to God ascend,
God our Father and our Friend.

3. Let the Sabbath day be blest,
Day of joy and day of rest;
Gladly may we hear his word,
Gladly learn the way to God.

4. Let the Sabbath day be blest,
Day of joy and day of rest;
Endless day to mortals given,
When the Lord descends from heaven.
