S. M.
The righteous doth sing and rejoice.
Prov. 29:6.
Sweet is the task, O Lord,
Thy glorious acts to sing,
To praise thy name, and hear thy word,
And grateful offerings bring.
2 Sweet, at the dawning hour,
Thy boundless love to tell;
And when the night-wind shuts the flower,
Still on the theme to dwell.
3 Sweet, on this day of rest,
To join in heart and voice
With those who love and serve thee best,
And in thy name rejoice.
4 To songs of praise and joy,
May all our days be given,
That such may be our best employ
Eternally in heaven.
F. Lyte.
