461 ~ This Is the Day of Rest
1
This is the day of rest; Our failing strength renew; On weary brain and troubled breast Shed Thou Thy freshening dew.
2
This is the day of peace; Thy peace our spirits fill; Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease, The waves of strife be still.
3
This is the day of prayer; Let earth to heaven draw near; Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there; Come down to meet us here.
4
This is the best of days; Send forth Thy quickening breath, And wake dead souls to love and praise, O Vanquisher of death!
