It is the Sabbath of the Lord,
It is the hour to hear his word,
It is the day by mercy given,
To cheer with tidings brought from heaven.
it is the time in which we may
Disburden our full hearts and pray;
Confess our sins, our guilt deplore,
And ask for grace to sin no more.
It is the time which God hath set
To bless the few together met;
Met in his holy house to bring
Our new and heartfelt offering.
It is the time when Jesus’ call
Breathes out its tender love to all,
Proclaims the captive soul’s release,
And gives the pardoned sinner peace.
