Rejoice, Our Weekly Work is Done

Rejoice, our weekly work is done,
Another Lord's Day has begun;
O welcome, sacred day of rest,
The day that God Himself has blessed.
(Refrain 2x)
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
Day that God Himself has blessed;
O welcome, sacred day of rest,
The day that God Himself has blessed

Let us devote this joyous day,
To thanks and praise, and let us pray,
That as we worship God above,
We all would know the Savior's love.
(Refrain)

Now with the saints all gathered 'round,
We seek the Lord where He is found;
By Word and Sacrament we know,
His love and grace to us will flow.
(Refrain)

And from this place and from this Day,
The Lord shall send us on our way;
To do His work another week,
And then return, His favor seek.
(Refrain)
