It was exactly half a century ago, when a defeated France was making an effort to rebuild itself and sought the very foundations of a renewal within tradition, that Ernest Hello—with that prophetic tone that was innate to him and which proved that the supernatural was like a second nature to him—raised his voice in favor of one of those foundations: the law of Sunday rest. Hello wrote this work following the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, advocating for Sunday as a day of rest for both spiritual and social health.

And in a first hymn—for his thoughts always ended as a hymn—he celebrated its requirements and glorified its benefits in the name of the social right of God.

Then a second hymn was added, exalting the social right of the workers and the liberation promised and assured to them by the divine commandment of Sunday rest.

Sunday is the day of God and it is the day of the worker, the day that both love, the day when men feel like brothers to one another, where their shared heritage takes on a kind of fraternity toward the God-Man, who is a Son along with them of the Common Father.
