(91) The Day of Rest.

Welcome, sacred day of rest!

Sweet repose from worldly care;

Day above all days the best,

When our souls for heav'n prepare;

Day, when our Redeemer rose,

Victor o'er the hosts of hell;

Thus he vanquished all our foes;

Let our lips his glory tell.

2 Gracious Lord! we love this day,

When we hear thy holy word;

When we sing thy praise, and pray,

Earth can no such joys afford;

But a better rest remains,

Heav'nly Sabbaths, happier days,

Rest from sin, and rest from pains,

Endless joys and endless praise.

William Brown, 1822.
