SONG XXVIII.

For the LORD'S-DAY EVENING.

I.
1 LORD, how delightful 'tis to see
2 A whole Assembly worship Thee!
3 At once they sing, at once they pray;
4 They hear of Heav'n, and learn the Way.
II.
5 I have been there, and still would go:
6 'Tis like a little Heav'n below:
7 Not all my Pleasure and my Play
8 Shall tempt me to forget this Day.
III.
9 O write upon my Mem'ry, LORD,
10 The Text and Doctrines of thy Word;
11 That I may break thy Laws no more,
12 But love thee better than before.
IV.
13 With Thoughts of Christ and Things divine
14 Fill up this foolish Heart of mine;
15 That hoping Pardon thro' his Blood,
16 I may lie down and wake with GOD.
