SONG
XXVII
.
For
the
LORD's-DAY
MORNING
.
I.
THis
is
the
Day
when
CHRIST
arose
So
early
from
the
Dead
;
Why
should
I
keep
my
Eyelids
clos'd
,
And
waste
my
Hours
in
Bed
?
II
.
This
is
the
Day
when
JESUS
broke
The
Pow'r
of
Death
and
Hell
;
And
shall
I
still
wear
Satan's
Yoke
,
And
love
my
Sins
so
well
?
III
.
To-Day
with
Pleasure
Christians
meet
,
To
pray
and
hear
the
Word
:
And
I
would
go
with
cheerful
Feet
To
learn
thy
Will
,
O
LORD
.
IV
.
I'll
leave
my
Sport
to
read
and
pray
,
And
so
prepare
for
Heav'n
:
O
may
I
love
this
blessed
Day
The
best
of
all
the
Sev'n
!
