A Poem for Little Souls: The Lord's Day Morning by Isaac Watts.
26.8.12
This is the day when Christ arose
So early from the dead;
Why should I keep my eyelids closed,
And waste my hours in bed?
This is the day when Jesus broke
The powers of death and hell;
And shall I wear Satan's yoke,
And love my sins so well?
To-day with pleasure Christians meet,
To pray and hear thy Word;
And I would go with cheerful feet,
To learn thy will, O Lord.
I'll leave my sport to read and pray,
And so prepare for heaven;
Oh, may I love this blessed day
The best of all the seven!
Isaac Watts
Divine and Moral Songs from Children
Have a blessed Lord's Day, dear friends.
