| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | The Day of Rest | | By Gustav Gottheil |
| | | COME, O Sabbath day, and bring | |
| Peace and healing on thy wing, | |
| And to every troubled breast | |
| Speak of the divine behest: | |
| Thou shalt rest! | 5 |
| |
| Earthly longing bid retire, | |
| Guard our passions’ hurtful fire; | |
| To the wayward, sin-oppressed, | |
| Bring thou the divine behest; | |
| Thou shalt rest. | 10 |
| |
| Wipe from every cheek the tear: | |
| Banish care, and silence fear; | |
| All things working for the best, | |
| Teach us the divine behest, | |
| Thou shalt rest. | 15 | | | |
