Hail to the day, which He, who made the Heaven, Earth, and their armies, sanctified and blest, Perpetual memory of the Maker’s rest! Hail to the day, when He, by whom was given New life to man, the tomb asunder riven, Arose! That day His church hath still confest, At once creation’s and redemption’s feast, Sign of a world call’d forth, a world forgiven. Welcome that day, the day of holy peace, The Lord’s own day! to man’s Creator owed, And man’s Redeemer; for the soul’s increase In sanctity, and sweet repose bestowed; Type of the rest, when sin and care shall cease, The rest remaining for the lov’d of God.
