One day in every seven days,
right from the world’s creation,
a pause from work for rest and praise
– a weekly celebration.*
Then Israel for one week each year
the exodus remembered –
out from enslavement, murder, fear –
the rescue by their Shepherd.**
Each Sunday let your joy resound
remembering redemption
– our Shepherd rescued, and we’ve found
such cause for celebration.***
[*Sabbath **Passover ***Resurrection Day]
Tune: 87 87 (Iambic) eg St Columba, tune of ‘The King of love my Shepherd is’
