Blessed Sabbath – Day of Rest

Blessed Sabbath, day of rest
From our toils we are blessed
A holy day, set apart
To worship God with all our heart

Chorus.

Six days of labor we employ
But the seventh is filled with joy
A day of rest, a day of peace
Where all our worldly cares do cease

Chorus.

The Sabbath commandment we obey
On this blessed seventh day
Our love for God we do express
As we follow His righteousness

Chorus.

May this day be filled with love
As we seek guidance from above
Blessed Sabbath, may we be
Forever grateful, Lord, to Thee

Chorus.

Chorus:
Blessed Sabbath, day divine
The Holy Commandments we enshrine
In God’s presence we will find
Peace and joy of heart and mind
