FOR THE LORD'S DAY EVENING

1 LORD, how delightful ’tis to see
A whole assembly worship thee !

_ At once they sing, at once they pray ;
They hear of heayen, and learn the way.

2 I have been there, and still would go,
’Tis like a little heaven below ;

Not all my pleasure and my play
Shall tempt me to forget this day.

3 Oh, write upon my memory, Lord,

The texts and doctrines of thy word ;
That I may break thy laws no more,
But love thee better than before.

4 With thoughts of Christ, and things divine,
Fill up this foolish heart of mine; ._
That, hoping pardon through his blood,
I may lie down and wake with God.
