The Earth Is Hushed in Silence

The earth is hushed in si­lence

Its cares now flee away

Let all things bow in rev­er­ence

On this the Lord’s own day.

O praise and pray on this

The Lord’s own day.

The bells are sweet­ly ring­ing

Their clear toned voic­es say:

Ye peo­ple

come and wor­ship

On this

the Lord’s own day.

Come

all ye thank­ful people;

Why should our hearts de­lay

To greet the Lord of Heav­en

On this His ho­ly day?
