HYMN 35

C.M.S. 29 o.t. H.C 17.8888 (L.M)


1.  Lord of theSabbath, hear us pray

     In this Thy house, on this Thy day

     Now met to pray and bless Thy name 

     Whose mercies flow each day the same.


2.  Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord we love 

     But there’s a nobler rest above

     To that our bab’ring souls aspire 

     With ardent hope and strong desire.


3.  In Thy blest kingdom we shall be 

     From every mortal trouble free

     No sighs shall mingle with the songs 

     Resounding from immortal tongues.


4.  O long-expected day, begin!

     Dawn on these realms of woe and sin 

     Fain would we leave this weary road 

     And sleep in death to rest with God.  Amen
