LyicsThine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our lab'ring souls aspire,
With holy zeal and strong desire.
No more fatigues, no more distress,
Nor sin, nor hell, shall reach that place;
No groans, to mingle with the songs,
Which warble from immortal tongues.
No rude alarms of raging foes;
No cares to break our long repose;
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
