SS&S 274: LORD OF THE SABBATH! HEAR OUR VOWS
1. Lord of the Sabbath! hear our vows
On this Thy day, in this Thy house ;
And own, as a grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from the desert rise.
2. Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love;
But there's a nobler rest above :
To that our laboring souls aspire,
With ardent pangs of strong desire.
3. No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin, nor hell, shall reach the place;
No groans to mingle with the songs
Which 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 we leave this weary road,
And sleep in death to rest with God.
