We've endured now on holy time
1We've endured now on holy time, God's blessed sign of living faith; The labors of the week are past, Now let each cause made to cease.
2Oh! let us help repair the breach, And all of God's commandments teach, Calling his rest day our delight, Thus making blameless in his sight.
3This holy rest to us is given, To call our minds from earth to Heaven; Now let us not forget the Lord, And trample down his holy word.
4The faith of Jesus, too, we need; For thus the flying angel said; And they that have this living faith Will shield us in the day of wrath.
