Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Sabbath hymn by Reform rabbi Gustav Gottheil celebrating the peace, rest, and healing the Sabbath brings to troubled and weary souls. Drawn from the Jewish Shabbat tradition and adopted by Seventh-day Adventists for corporate worship.
Verse 1
Peace and healing on thy wing;
And to every troubled breast
Speak of the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
Verse 2
Earthly longings bid retire,
Quench the passions' hurtful fire;
To the wayward, sin oppressed,
Bring thou thy divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
Verse 3
Wipe from every cheek the tear,
Banish care and silence fear;
All things working for the best,
Teach us the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
