E’er another sabbath close,
Ere again we seek repose,
Lord our song ascends to thee,
At thy feet we bow the knee.
For the mercies of the day,
For this rest upon our way,
Thanks to thee alone be given,
Lord of earth and King of heaven.
Cold our services have been,
Mingled every pray with sin;
But thou canst and will forgive;
By thy grace alone we live.
Whilst this thorny path we tread,
May the love our footsteps lead;
When out journey here is past,
May we rest with thee at last.
Let these earthly sabbaths prove
Foretastes of our joys above;
While their steps thy children bend
To the rest which knows no end.
