SONG XXVII.

For the LORD's-DAY MORNING.

I.

THis is the Day when CHRIST arose So early from the Dead; Why should I keep my Eyelids clos'd, And waste my Hours in Bed?

II.

This is the Day when JESUS broke The Pow'r of Death and Hell; And shall I still wear Satan's Yoke, And love my Sins so well?

III.

To-Day with Pleasure Christians meet, To pray and hear the Word: And I would go with cheerful Feet To learn thy Will, O LORD.

IV.

I'll leave my Sport to read and pray, And so prepare for Heav'n: O may I love this blessed Day The best of all the Sev'n!
