May peace and rest embrace you
On this Labor Day;
How fervently you labor,
Faithful are you to the Way.

Throughout our great Nation
Our workers we celebrate;
Yet let us not forget also
The One who does create.



Always at His work
Is our dear Father above;
Unceasing He is in His mercy,
Limitless in His love.

With hearts of rejoicing,
Let us praise the Holy One;
Glory and honor belong
To the Father, Spirit and Son.



God gives the power to work,
He gives also the gift to rest;
He works all things for our good,
Indeed all things for best.

My brother, sister and friend,
How grateful I am for you;
Our Father gives us strength
For all the work we do.



Brother, sister, one and all,
Come and rejoice with me;
Rest and refresh on Labor Day,
Lift songs for God’s glory.

For unceasing is His labor,
He is Life, the Truth, the Way;
Let us embrace the rest God gives
On this Labor Day.

Jesus said to them,
"My Father is always
at his work to this very day,
and I, too, am working."
