Come, O Sabbath Day

Text written by Gustav Gottheil (1827-1903)

Sung to the tune SABBATH by A. W. Binder (1895-1966)

Malachi 4:2 But for you who obey me, my saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun's rays. You will be as free and happy as calves let out of a stall. 

V. 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!

Acts 10:38 You know about Jesus of Nazareth and how God poured out on him the Holy Spirit and power. He went everywhere, doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, for God was with him.

V. 2 Earthly longings bid retired,

Quench the passions' hurtful fire;

To the wayward, sin oppressed,

Bring thou thy divine behest:

Thou shalt rest, 
Thou shalt rest!

Romans 8:28 We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose. 

V. 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!
