SABBATH EVENING.

By V. O. Edson

Lo! behind the western hills, Sinks the sun's expiring ray; When the six days' hours it fills, Ushering in the sacred day.
Sacred day of sweet repose, To the weary and care-worn; Welcome thy sacred hours to those Who life's burdens long have borne.
O! how sweet upon this day, When from six days' labor free, In our minds to soar away To that rest we soon shall see.
O! how sweet to meditate On the goodness of our Lord, And his rest commemorate, As commanded in his word.
When these earthly Sabbaths end, When probation's hours shall close; May I then a Sabbath spend, Free from sorrow and from woes.
V. O. EDSON.
