By Gustav GottheilThe Day of Rest
C
Peace and healing on thy wing,
And to every troubled breast
Speak of the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest!
Guard our passions’ hurtful fire;
To the wayward, sin-oppressed,
Bring thou the divine behest;
Thou shalt rest.
Banish care, and silence fear;
All things working for the best,
Teach us the divine behest,
Thou shalt rest.
