The earth is hushed in si­lence,
Its cares now flee away,
Let all things bow in re­ver­ence,
On this the Lord’s own day.

Refrain

O praise and pray on this,
The Lord’s own day.

The bells are sweet­ly ring­ing,
Their clear toned voic­es say:
Ye peo­ple, come and wor­ship
On this, the Lord’s own day.

Refrain

Come, all ye thank­ful people;
Why should our hearts de­lay
To greet the Lord of Hea­ven
On this His ho­ly day?
