423. The Sabbath Morning.

1

With Christ for our friend,
Come let us ascend,
And on our Creator, with reverence attend;
This one day in seven,
In mercy was given,
To detach us from earth, and prepare us for heaven!

2

With trouble and woe,
We conflict below,
But felicity waits, in the world where we go!
No sorrow nor pain
Shall molest us again,
When we see and adore, the Lamb that was slain!
324

3

Our Captain is he
Who bled on the tree,
The ransom accepted, for you and for me!
While thus on our way,
To the regions of day!
Our homage let each to the Conqueror pay!

4

This day, ever bless'd!
This season of rest,
Let us all give to duties, the choicest and best!
And find, as time rolls,
A retreat for our souls,
Surpass'd only there where the vision unfolds!
