The Eternal Sabbath

Verse 1

Hail to the Sabbath day, The day divinely given, When men to God their homage pay, And earth draws near to heaven.

Verse 2

Lord, in this sacred hour, Within Thy courts we bend, And bless Thy love, and own Thy power, Our Father and our Friend.

Verse 3

But Thou art not alone In courts by mortals trod; Nor only is the day Thine own When man draws near to God:

Verse 4

Thy temple is the arch Of yon unmeasured sky; Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march Of vast eternity.

Verse 5

Lord, may that holier day Dawn on Thy servants' sight; And purer worship may we pay In heaven's unclouded light.
