Text: | The Lord's Day |
1 Almighty Father! hear our vows
On this thy day, in this thy house;
And own, as grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from thy churches rise.
2 Thine earthly sabbath, Lord! we love;
But there's a nobler rest above:
Thy servants to that rest aspire
With ardent hope and strong desire.
3 There languor shall no more oppress;
The heart shall feel no more distress;
No groans shall mingle with the songs,
That dwell upon immortal tongues.
4 No gloomy cares shall there annoy,
No conscious guilt disturb our joy;
But every doubt and fear shall cease,
And perfect love give perfect peace.
5 When shall that glorious day begin,
Beyond the reach of death or sin;
Whose sun shall never more decline,
But with unfading lustre shine!
