SDAH 387
Come, O Sabbath day and bring
Peace and healing on thy wing;
And to every troubled breast
Speak of the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
Text
1
Come, O Sabbath day and bring
Peace and healing on thy wing;
And to every troubled breast
Speak of the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
2
Earthly longings bid retire,
Quench the passions’ hurtful fire;
To the wayward, sin oppressed,
Bring thou thy divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
3
Wipe from every cheek the tear,
Banish care and silence fear;
All things working for the best,
Teach us the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!

The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. God rested, blessed, and sanctified the first Sabbath in the Garden of Eden so that man may also rest, be blessed, and sanctified whenever he would “remember” to keep the Sabbath Holy by His grace. (Lesson 9, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Thursday, Remembering the Sabbath, 5/27/2021)
