Sweet Is the Work, O Lord

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.
