Text Based On Colossians Chapter 2
Let no man therefore judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of an holyday,
or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Blest Day Of God !

New rising in this gospel time,
And in its sevenfold light sublime,
Blest day of God! we hail its dusk,
In gratitude and worship just.

Sweet is the sunlight after rain,
And sweet the sleep which follows pain;
Sweet is Thy seventh day Sabbath rest
Upon the world's work-wearied breast.

Of Heaven the sign, of earth, the calm;
The poor man's birthright and his balm;
God's witness of celestial things;
A sun with healing in its wings.

O naught of gloom and naught of pride
Should with the sacred hours abide;
At work for God, in loved employ,
We lose the duty in the joy.

Breathe on us, Lord! our sins forgive,
And make us strong in faith to live;
Our utmost, sorest need supply,
And make us strong in faith comply.
