Earth Is Hushed In Silence, The

The earth is hushed in silence,

Its cares now flee away,

Let all things bow in reverence,

On this the Lord's own day.

Refrain

O praise and pray on this,

The Lord's own day.

The bells are sweetly ringing,

Their clear toned voices say:

"Ye people, come and worship

On this, the Lord's own day."

Refrain

Come, all ye thankful people;

Why should our hearts delay

To greet the Lord of Heaven

On this His holy day?
