By Grace AguilarSabbath Thoughts
I
Thou me this day hast given,
Strengthening my soul to seek Thy face,
And list the theme of heaven.
Thy love hath lull’d to rest,
And every thought whose wing has prayer
Thine answering word hath blest.
That linger’d round my heart,
That called for murmurs, doubts and tears,
Thy mercy bade depart.
On this blessed day of peace,
And with Thy spirit’s pure incense
Bid work-day turmoil cease.
