226. I love thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord

1 I love thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord,
For they are days of holy rest;
And thou hast passed thy changeless word,
That they shall be forever blest.

2 I love thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord,
That congregate thy people here,
To join their hearts in sweet accord,
And fit them for a higher sphere.
