Classic Poem

For thee we long and pray,
O blessed Sabbath-morn!
And all the week we say,
O! when wilt thou return?
Come, come away,
Day of glad rest,
Of days the best,
Sweet Sabbath-day!

Thou tellest us how Christ
Arose and left the tomb;
And all the week we say,
O! when will Sabbath come?
Come, come away, etc.

Thou tellest us how we,
Like him shall leave the tomb;
And all the week we say,
O! when will Sabbath come?
Come, come away, etc.

Thou tellest of a rest,
A peaceful happy home,
Where all the saints are blest;
O! when will Sabbath come?
Come, come away, etc.
