Dear is the hallow'd morn to me, And by their sacred minstrelsy Call me from earthly cares away. And dear to me the winged hour And catch the manna of Thy word. And dear to me the loud Amen Which echoes through the blest abode, Which swells, and sinks, and swells again, Dies on the walls, but lives to God. And dear the rustic harmony, Sung with the pomp of village art; That holy, heavenly melody, The music of a thankful heart. In secret I have often pray'd, And still the anxious tear would fall; But on Thy sacred altar laid, The fire descends, and dries them all. Oft when the world, with iron hands, Has bound me in its six days' chain, Then dear to me the Sabbath morn, The village bells, the shepherd's voice; Go, man of pleasure, strike the lyre, That bears us to a Father's arms!
