O day most beautiful and bright:
A day given to us by God
For us, a day to rest therein.

To do all that we have to do;

Our daily duties for six days,
Our work today, let hallow'd be,
Because the day belongs to God.

For service in the house of God;
Let us sing a joyful anthem,
On the Lord's day; this early morn.

On the Lord's hallowed day of rest
Let us raise a joyful chorus
And let us lift our hearts to pray.
