Hymn XXXIV. For Sunday Christopher Smart

HYMN XXXIV.
For SUNDAY.
Arise — arise — the Lord arose
On this triumphant day:
Your souls to piety dispose,
Arise to bless and pray.
5 Ev'n rustics do adorn them now,
Themselves in roses dress;
And to the clergyman they bow,
When he begins to bless.
Their best apparel now arrays
10 The little girls and boys;
And better than the preacher prays
For heav'n's eternal joys.
