- 1The Lord of Sabbath let us praise,
- In concert with the blest,
- Who, joyful in harmonious lays,
- Employ an endless rest.
- 2Thus, Lord, while we remember thee,
- We blest and pious grow,
- By hymns of praise we learn to be
- Triumphant here below.
- 3On this glad day a brighter scene
- Of glory was display'd
- By God, th' eternal word, than when
- This universe was made.
- 4He rises, who mankind has bought
- With grief and pain extreme;
- ’Twas great to speak the world from nought,
- ’Twas greater to redeem!
