204. Come, O Sabbath Day

1 Come, O Sabbath day and bring
peace and healing on thy wing:
and to every weary one
let a word of blessing come:
thou shalt rest. Thou shalt rest.

2 Welcome Sabbath! Let depart
ev’ry care of troubled heart.
Now the daily task is done,
let a word of comfort come:
Thou shalt rest. Thou shalt rest.

3 Work and sorrow cast away!
Sabbath is for prayer and play.
With the setting of the sun,
let a cheering message come:
thou shalt rest. Thou shalt rest.
