SABBATH EVENING.

Chafed and worn with worldly care, Sweetly, Lord, my heart prepare; Bid this inward tempest cease; Jesus, come and whisper peace! Hush the whirlwind of my will, With thyself my spirit fill; End in calm this busy week, Let the Sabbath gently break.
Sever, Lord, these earthly ties: Fain my soul to thee would rise, Disentangle me from time, Lift me to a purer clime; Let me cast away my load, Let me now draw nigh to God; Gently, loving Jesus, speak, End in calm this busy week.
Draw the curtain of repose, While my weary eyelids close; Seal my spirit while I rest, Give me dreamings pure and blest; Raise me with a cheerful heart; Holy Ghost thyself impart; Then the Sabbath day will be, Heaven brought down to earth and me.
