[blocks in formation]

1 ANOTHER Six days' work is done;
Another Sabbath is begun.

Return, my soul! enjoy thy rest;
Improve the day that God has bless'd.

20 that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies,

And draw from heav'n that sweet repose, Which none, but he who feels it, knows.

3 This heav'nly calm within the breast

Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains
The end of cares, the end of pains.

;

4 With joy, great God! thy works we view,
In various scenes, both old and new;
With praise we think on mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.

5 In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away;

How sweet this Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one which ne'er shall end!

HYMN 2. C. M.

Universal and sincere praise.

1 THIS is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours his own;
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne !

2 While angels praise the heav'nly King,
Let mortals learn their strains!
Let all the earth his honours sing!
O'er all the earth he reigns.

3 Rehearse his praise with awe profound;
Let knowledge lead the song!
Nor mock him with a solemn sound
Upon a thoughtless tongue.

4 Loud be the shout of sacred joy, To God the sov❜reign King!

Let ev'ry land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing!

HYMN 3. S. M.

For the Lord's day morning. Ps. xix.

BEHOLD, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;

His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.

But, where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;

It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.

How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just ;
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And we securely trust.
