When the worn spirit wants repose

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: SDAH1886 #231 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When the worn spirit wants repose, And sighs her God to seek, How sweet to hail the hours that close The labors of the week! 2 How sweet to hail the Sabbath-day, The day of holy rest; From earth's wild cares to soar away To regions pure and blest. 3 Sweet day! thine hours too soon will cease; Yet, while they gently roll, Breathe, heavenly Spirit, source of peace, A sabbath o'er my soul. 4 Soon will my pilgrimage be done, The world's long week be o'er, That Sabbath dawn which needs no sun, That day which fades no more.

How bright a day was that which saw

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #232 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How bright a day was that which saw Creation's work complete! All nature owned her Maker's law, And worshiped at his feet. 2 The world, arranged by power divine, In perfect order stood; And, resting, from his great design, God saw that all was good. 3 Not such a Sabbath now appears, For sin has ruined all; No longer man with pleasure hears A gracious Father's call. 4 Yet, Lord, bring back the reign of peace, Let brighter days begin; And teach vain creatures how to cease From folly and from sin. 5 Let sinners be again made thine, Though once with vengance cursed; And let the holy Sabbath shine, As glorious as at first.

Hail, peaceful day! divinely blest!

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: SDAH1886 #234 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Hail, peaceful day! divinely blest! Sweetly thy glories would we sing, Memorial of that sacred rest Of vast creation's mighty King: This hallowed time to man was given, A foretaste of the bliss of heaven. 2 Hark! through the shining courts above What rapturous praises echo now! Around that holy law of love Seraphs in adoration bow; Let earth, responsive to the strain, Exalt alone Jehovah's name. 3 O come, thou bright, immortal day! When at his temple all adore, And own his universal sway From age to age, forevermore; Then Zion shall in triumph reign, And Eden bloom on earth again.

Hail, peaceful morn, thy dawn I hail

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #235 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Hail, peaceful morn, thy dawn I hail; How do thy hours my mind regale With feasts of heavenly joy! Nor can I half thy blessings name, Which kindle in my soul a flame, And all my powers employ. 2 How shall I best improve thy hours? Lord, on me shed in copious showers Thy Spirit and thy grace; That when thy sacred courts I tread, My soul may eat the heavenly bread, And sing Jehovah's praise. 3 Thou hallowed season of repose, Thou balm to soothe the throbbing woes Of this care-stricken breast; Thy sacred hours I'll ever greet, And with the faithful will I meet, To taste thy holy rest. 4 Thus may the Sabbath pass away, My best, my holiest, happiest day, The sweetest of the seven; But yet a rest for saints remains, The Sabbath free from ills and pains, Eternal, and in heaven.

Six days of toil and care

Welcome, sweet day of rest

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #238 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest, The day believers prize, Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes. 2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day; Here we may sit, and taste his cheer, And love, and praise, and pray. 3 One day within the place Where Christ, my Lord, has been, Is sweeter than ten thousand days Of folly and of sin. 4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this Till called to rise and soar away To everlasting bliss.
