1. Crowning jewel of creation, Blest and hallowed, sanctified; Time and changes all transcending, Shared for ever, glorified. Refrain: Blessed Sabbath made for man,Gift from the Creator's hand. 2. Sin and sickness, rayer and weeping Cease at close of earthly days; But Thy Sabbath is eternal, Joyful thanks to Thee we raise! 3. Teach us, Lord, in storm or sunshine How to truly rest in Thee, May Thy Sabbath peace enfold us And our shelter ever be.
