¶Lyrics / Text

1 Thine earthly sabbaths, Lord, we love; But there's a nobler rest above; Thy servants to that rest aspire With ardent hope and strong desire. 2 No more fatigue, no more distress, Nor sin, nor death shall reach the place; No groans shall mingle with the songs That dwell upon immortal tongues. 3 No rude alarms of raging foes; No cares to break our long repose; No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 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.
