The earth is hushed in silence,
Its cares now flee away,
Let all things bow in reverence,
On this the Lord’s own day.
Refrain
O praise and pray on this,
The Lord’s own day.
The bells are sweetly ringing,
Their clear toned voices say:
“Ye people, come and worship
On this, the Lord’s own day.”
Refrain
Come, all ye thankful people;
Why should our hearts delay
To greet the Lord of Heaven
On this His holy day?
Refrain
