Sleep, sleep to-day, tormenting cares
Of earth and folly born!
Ye shall not dim the light that streams
From this celestial morn.
To-morrow will be time enough
Tofeel your harsh control;
Ye shall not violate this day,
The Sabbath of my soul.
Sleep, sleep forever, guilty thoughts!
Let fires of vengeance die;
And, purged from sin, may I behold
A God of purity!
