Come , let us all, with heart and voice,
To God our Father sing and pray;
In his unceasing love rejoice,
And thank him for this pleasant day.

The clear blue sky looks full of love:
Let all our selfish passions cease!
O, let us lift our thoughts above,
Where all is brightness, goodness, peace.

If we have done a brother wrong,
O, let us seek to be forgiven;
Nor let one discord spoil the song
Our hearts would raise this day to Heaven.

This blessed day, when the pure air
Is full of sweetness, full of joy, —
When all around is calm and fair,
Shall we the harmony destroy?

O, may it be our earnest care
To free our souls from every sin:
Then will each day be bright and fair;
For God's pure sunshine dwells within.
