Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Daniel Read
Meter: L.M. (8,8,8,8)

Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal care shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound.

Then shall I see, and hear and know
All I desired and wished below;
And ev'ry pow'r find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy.
