(60) Sabbath Morn.

How sweetly breaks the Sabbath dawn

Along the eastern skies!

So, when the night of time hath gone,

Eternity shall rise.

2 How softly spreads the Sabbath light!

How soon the gloom hath fled!

So o'er the new created sight

Celestial bliss is spread.

3 What quiet reigns o'er earth and sea,

Through all the stilly air!

So calm may we this Sabbath be,

And free from worldly care.

4 Thus let thy peace, O Lord! pervade

Our bosoms all our days;

And let each passing hour be made

A herald of thy praise.

5 This peace of God--how full! how sweet

It flows from Jesus' breast;

It makes our bliss on earth complete,

It brings eternal rest.

Edwin F. Hatfield, 1840
