LORD OF THE SABBATH! HEAR OUR VOWS – L.M.
1. Lord of the Sabbath! Hear our vows
On this Thy day, in this Thy house;
And own, as grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from the desert rise.
2. Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love
But there’s a nobler rest above:
To that our labouring soul aspire.
With ardent pangs of strong desire.
3. No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin, nor hell, shall reach the place:
No groans to mingle with the songs
Which warble from immortal tongues.
4. No rude alarms of raging foes,
No cares to break the long
repose:
No midnight shade, no clouded
sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
5. O tong-expected day, begin!
Dawn on these realms of woe
and sin;
Fain would we leave this weary
road,
And sleep in death to rest with God.
