1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm for care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright:
On you the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing, "Holy, holy, holy,"
To the great God triune.
Stanzas 2-3 available in purchased product; omitted in free on-line demo
4 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The Church its voice upraises
To you, blest Three in One.
