HYMN 27

C.M


1.  THE Lord of Sabbath let us praise 

In concert with the blest

Who, joyful, in harmonious lays 

Employ an endless rest.


2.  Thus, Lord, while we remember Thee 

We blest and pious grow

By hymns of praise we learn to be 

Triumphant here below.


3.  On this glad day a brighter scene

Of glory was displayed

By God, th’eternal Word, than when 

This universe was made.


4.  He rises, who mankind has bought

With grief and pain extreme

‘T was great to speak a world from nought 

'T was greater to redeem!  Amen
