L. M. DODDRIDGE. The eternal Sabbath. 1 LORD of the Sabbath, hear our vows, On this thy day, in this thy house; And own, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from thy churches rise. 2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love; 3 No more fatigue, no more distress; 4 No rude alarms of raging foes; 5 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. 23.
