Steeleye Span - The Best of Steeleye Span

Now We Are Six

Six days of labor now are past
Thou restest, Holy God
And of Thy finished work has said
That all is very good

Yet while the seventh day is blessed
Hallowed for rest divine
Behold, a new creation needs
That mighty power of Thine

Ten thousands voices praise Thy name
In earth and sea and sky
One sinner by his sin has marred
The blissful harmony

Oh Lord, create man's heart anew
The heart of stone remove
Then hymns of praise again shall rise
The fruits of holy love

Oh, for the songs that Thou wilt bless
Where heart and voice agree
Oh, for the prayers that plead aright
With Thy dread majesty

All praise to God, the Three in One
Who high in glory reigns
Who by His word hath all things made
And by His word sustains
