A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of Christians ‎#359

359. Every thought should be directed

1 Every thought should be directed
Heavenward on this hallowed day;
Worldly themes should be rejected,
Themes that draw the soul away:
'Tis the day of sacred rest;
'Tis the day the Lord hath blessed.

2 O what glorious themes invite us,
When we look on mercy's plan!
These are themes may well delight us:
Themes of joy to guilty man;
Full of sweetness, full of grace,
Suited to the sinner's case.

3 Why should we grow weary thinking
Of the Saviour's grace and love?
From these springs His people drinking
Get a taste of joys above:
O 'tis good the Lord to know;
'Tis our heaven begun below!
