SABBATH HYMNS

1DEAR Lord, we would thy praises sing,
On this, thy holy day;
With grateful hearts our tribute bring,
And to thee homage pay.

2This day, which thou for us hast blest,
And set apart as thine;
This day, when God himself did rest,
Hath honors all divine.

3Lord, we would turn away our feet
From this, thy holy day;
And call its rest and worship sweet,
Not doing our own way.

4That we may thus restore the breach,
Which in thy law is made;
We need thy grace our hearts to teach,
We need thy Spirit's aid.

5O give us wisdom from above,
To worship thee aright;
Till we shall meet him whom we love,
And faith is lost in sight.
