The day of God's rest: the seventh day.
Story behind the song
The day after God finished creating everything, He rested.
Lyrics
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
And all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God finished his work
Which he had done,
And he rested on the seventh day
From all his work which he had done.
So God blessed the seventh day
And hallowed it,
Because on it God rested
From all his work which he had done
in creation.
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth
when they were created.
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth
when they were created.
