For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

LORD OF THE SABBATH, HEAR US PRAY

. LORD of the Sabbath, hear us pray,
In this Thy house, on this Thy day;
Accept as grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from Thy temple rise.

2. Thine earthly Sabbaths, LORD, we love,
But there’s a nobler rest above;
To that our labouring souls aspire-
With ardent hope and strong desire.

3. No more fatigue, no more distress,
No sin nor death can reach that place;
No tears shall mingle with the songs-
That warble from immortal tongues.

4. No rude alarms of raging foes,
No cares to break the long repose,
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.

5. O long expected day, begin!
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin,
Fain would I leave this weary road,
And go to meet my blessèd Lord.

A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
