Author: S. G. Bulfinch Hymnal: Laudes Domini #28 (1888) First Line: Hail to the Sabbath day! Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Sabbath day!
The day divinely given,
When men to God their homage pay,
And earth draws near to heaven.
2 Lord, in this sacred hour,
Within thy courts we bend,
And bless thy love, and own thy power,
Our Father and our Friend.
3 But thou art not alone
In courts by mortals trod;
Nor only is the day thine own
When man draws near to God.
4 Thy temple is the arch
Of yon unmeasured sky;
Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march
Of vast eternity.
5 Lord, may that holier day
Dawn on thy servants' sight;
And purer worship may we pay
In heaven's unclouded light. Topics: Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: MORNINGTON
