As I Keep the Sabbath Day

1. Gentle peace warms my soul
When the Sabbath comes once again.
I can worship and renew
Sacred covenants with Him.

[Chorus]

On this day of peace and rest,

I will give the Lord my best.

And His love will light my way

As I keep the Sabbath day.

2. As I pray, serve, and sing,
I give gratitude to the Lord,
Humbly take the sacrament,
Gladly hear His holy word.

[Chorus]

On this day of peace and rest,

I will give the Lord my best.

And His love will light my way

As I keep the Sabbath day.

3. Through this day, I will live
That His Spirit may come and stay—
Make the Sabbath a delight,
Precious gift, the Lord’s own day.

[Chorus]

On this day of peace and rest,

I will give the Lord my best.

And His love will light my way

As I keep the Sabbath day.
