HYMN 1. L. M.

The eternal sabbath.

1 GOD of the fabbath! hear our vows,
On this thy day, in this thine house;
And own, as grateful facrifice,
The fongs, which in thy temple rife.

2 Thine earthly fabbaths, Lord, we love ;
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our longing fouls afpire,
With cheerful hope, and ftrong defire.
3 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor fin nor death shall reach the place;
No groans fhall mingle with the fongs,
Which dwell upon immortal tongues.
4 No rude alarms of angry
foes;
No cares to break the long repose;
No midnight fhade, no clouded fun,
But facred, high, eternal noon.

5 O long expected day, begin;

Dawn on thefe realms of pain and fin;
With joy we'll tread th' appointed road,
And fleep in death to reft with God.
