Sabbath Hymn.

By Vesta N. Cudworth

AIR.—"Forever with the Lord"
Six days of toil and care, I bid you all adieu; And now O peaceful Sabbath hours, I gladly welcome you. As some frail bark at sea, By storms and tempests tried, Glides in beneath the sheltering lee. Safe on the tranquil tide.
The first Sabbatic day Our Lord himself did rest, And thus his great example gave, Then sanctified and blessed. My heart with rapture turns To Eden's vale so fair, Then forward to the heavenly world And views the Sabbath there.
Sweet day of rest, through thee Shall memory faithful prove To Him who made the earth and sea, And starry worlds above. Each Sabbath spent aright Shall bring us nearer Thee Till in that glorious land of light We'er made forever free.
VESTA N. CUDWORTH.
