FOR THE LORD'S DAY MORNING.

1 THIS is the day when Christ arose
So early from the dead;
Why should I keep mine eyelids close,
And waste my hours in bed ?

2 This is the day when Jesus broke
The powers of death and hell;
And shall I still wear Satan’s yoke,
And love my sins so well?
3 To-day with pleasure Christians meet,
To pray and hear thy word;
And I would go, with cheerful fect,
To learn thy will, O Lord.
4 T’ll leave my sport to read and pray,
And so prepare for heaven :
Oh may I love this blessed day
The best of all the seven !
