CCXLV. Lord's day Evenign

1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I
Behold thee all serene;
Blest in perpetual sabbath day,
Without a veil between?

2 Assist me, while I wander here,
Amidst a world of cares;
Incline my heart to pray with love,
And then accept my pray'rs.

3 Release my soul from ev'ry chain,
No more hell's captive led;
And pardon a repenting child,
For whom the Saviour bled.

4 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul,
That gives it self to thee;
Take all that I possess below,
And give thyself to me.

5 Thy Spirit, O my Father, give,
To be my guide and friend;
To light my path to ceaseless joys!
To Sabbaths without end.
