1 Crowning jewel of creation, Blest and hallowed, sanctified; Time and changes all transcending, Shared forever, glorified. Refrain Blessed Sabbath made for man, Gift from the Creator’s hand. 2 Sin and sickness, prayer 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.
