As time rolls on amid earth's gloom profound
1
As time rolls on amid earth's gloom profound,And wearing toil presents a ceaseless round,'T is good to have some way-marks on our road,To cheer our hearts, and lift our thoughts to God.
2
The Sabbath to this end divinely blest,Not only gives the body timely rest,But by its influence helps our minds to raiseAnd tune our hearts to our Creator's praise.
3
Then hail the glad memorial of our King!Let us give thanks, and join his praise to sing;And learning now to celebrate his praise,So shall we sing of him through endless days.
