Verse 1: 
Eb       Bb       Eb 
O day of rest and gladness, 
         Bb      Eb 
O day of joy and light, 
Eb        Bb       Eb 
O blam of care and sadness, 
            Bb        Eb 
Most beauti-ful, most bright; 
Ab                        Eb 
On thee, the high and low-ly, 
            Bb       Eb 
Who bend be-fore the throne, 
      Ab            Eb 
Sing, holy, holy ho-ly, 
         Bb     Eb 
To the E-ternal One. 
 
Verse 2: 
Eb         Bb       Eb 
Thou art a port pro-tected, 
                 Bb       Eb 
From storms that round us rise, 
Eb       Bb    Eb 
A garden inter-sected, 
                Bb   Eb 
With streams of Para-dise; 
Ab                      Eb 
Thou art a cooling foun-tain, 
               Bb     Eb 
In life's dry, dreary sand; 
     Ab                       Eb 
From thee, like Pisgah's moun-tain, 
            Bb       Eb 
We view our promised land. 
 
Verse 3: 
Eb       Bb       Eb 
A day of sweet re-flection, 
            Bb     Eb 
Thou art, a day of love; 
Eb       Bb       Eb 
A day to raise af-fection, 
              Bb       Eb 
From earth to things a-bove. 
Ab                   Eb 
New graces ever gain-ing, 
              Bb     Eb 
From this our day of rest, 
   Ab               Eb 
We seek the rest re-maining, 
            Bb     Eb 
In mansions of the blest.
