SUNDAY NIGHT.
1
Let us unfold God's holy book,And by the taper's light,
With hearts subdued, and sober look,
So spend the Sabbath night.
2
Where now the thoughts of anxious life,Its guilty pleasures, where?
Here dies its loud and mourning strife,
And all its sounds of care.
3
Let other views our hearts engross,To our Redeemer true,
Who seems expiring on the cross,
To say, I died for you!
