CCCLI. Lord's day Evening

1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I
Behold thee all serene?
Blest in perpetual sabbath-day,
Without a veil between?

2 Assist me, while I wander here,
Amidst a world of cares;
Incline my heart to pray with love,
And then accept my prayers.

3 [Release my soul from every chain,
No more Hell's captive led?
And pardon a repenting child,
For whom the Savior bled.

4 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul,
That gives it self to thee;
Take all that I possess below,
And give thyself to me.]

5 Thy spirit, O my Father, give,
To be my guide and friend,
To light my path to ceaseless joys!
To Sabbaths without end.
