Sunday
Language: English
A quiet morn, a peaceful day, Cool gentle shade where people pray, In little church on little hill Good people come to do God's will on Sunday. A quiet noon to walk or rest, Young folk and old in Sunday best, A little talk down by the stream, A little thought, a little dream on Sunday. A quiet e'en, the distant chimes That softly peal their silv'ry rhymes, Flowers are folded, stars are bright, And little prayers breathe soft 'good-night' to Sunday.
