The Lord of sabbaths let us praise,
In concert with the blest;
And in most sweet, harmonious lays,
Employ this day of rest.
O may we still remember thee,
And more in knowledge grow;
And may we more of glory see,
While waiting here below.
On this sweet day a brighter scene
Of glory was displayed,
By God th' eternal Word, than when
This universe was made.
He rises, who our souls hath bought
With blood, and grief, and pain;
'Twas great to speak the world from nought—
'Twas greater to redeem.
