Lyrics: Day of delight for our rest and our refreshing;
Join in the joy and blessing.
As we worship Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Day of delight! Day of consecration!
Remembering the Savior!
Rejoicing at His birth!
Count the cost of His Atonement,
As we sanctify our lives on earth.

Day of delight,
We will walk with cov'nant keepers;
His sign for true believers,
As we follow Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Day of delight!
Day of consecration!
Remembering the Savior!
Rejoicing at His birth!
Count the cost of His Atonement,
As we sanctify our lives on earth.

Day of delight
For our prayers and gospel learning;
Now with our whole souls turning,
As we honor Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Day of delight!
Day of consecration!
Remembering the Savior!
Rejoicing in His birth!
Count the cost of His Atonement,
As we sanctify our lives on earth.

Day of Delight for receiving revelation;
Our guide to exaltation.
As we rev'rence Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Day of delight!
Day of consecration!
Remembering the Savior!
Rejoicing at His birth!
Count the cost of His Atonement,
As we sanctify our lives on earth.

Day of Delight
We give thanks in perfect fasting;
Do all the Lord is asking,
As we serve Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Chorus

Day of delight
We will minister and gather;
To strengthen one another,
As we obey Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Chorus

Day of delight
Made for man from the creation;
Through all the generations,
To delight in Him
On the Sabbath of the Lord.
Chorus.
