HYMN 111.

Sweet is the work, my God! my King!
To praise Thy Name, give thanks, and sing;
To sbow Thy love by morning light,
And talk of all Thy truth at night.

Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No earthly cares, shall fill my breast;
Oh! may that day to me be found,
A day with grace and mercy crown'd.

My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
And bless His works, and bless His word;
His works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep His counsels how divine.

Oh! may we see, and hear, and know,
What mortals cannot reach below;
May all our pow'rs find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy.
