Poems (Follen)/The Lord's Day

​
THE LORD'S DAY.
This is the day when Jesus woke  From the deep slumbers of the tomb: This is the day the Saviour broke  The bonds of fear and hopeless gloom.
This is indeed a holy day:  No longer may we dread to die: Let every fear be cast away,  And tears be wiped from every eye.
Sorrow and pain the Saviour knew;  A dark and thorny path he trod;But heaven was ever in his view:  That toilsome path led up to God.
Let every heart rejoice and sing;  Let every sin and sorrow cease; Let children come this day and bring  Their offering of love and peace.
