THE SABBATH.

By J. S. Thorp

Sweet is the Sabbath of the Lord To those who in his law delight, By whom transgression is abhorred, And loved and honored is the right.
It speaks of Him whose wondrous might The heavens and earth from nothing made, Who formed the glorious orbs of light, And the deep sea’s foundations laid.
This holy day Jehovah blest, Ere sorrow, pain, or death was born, And set apart for man a rest, In the creation’s sinless morn.
Its sacred hours, O Lord, to thee Thy saints would ever holy keep, Till they thy face in glory see, Or in their Saviour fall asleep.
J. S. THORP.
