Sweet is the work, O Lord,
Thy glo­ri­ous acts to sing,
To praise Thy name, and hear Thy Word,
And grate­ful of­fer­ings bring.

Sweet, at the dawn­ing light,
Thy bound­less love to tell;
And, when ap­proach the shades of night,
Still on the theme to dwell.

Sweet, on this day of rest,
To join in heart and voice
With those who love and serve Thee best,
And in Thy name re­joice.

To songs of praise and joy
Be ev­ery Sab­bath giv­en,
That such may be our blest em­ploy
Eternally in Hea­ven.
