Sabbath Hymn

Little traveller, Zionward
Turn thy willing steps to-day,
Haste thee to the house of God,
Lift thy youthful heart and pray.

May this Sabbath be the best—
Happiest day of all the seven,
Day of sweet and sacred rest,
Emblem of the rest of heaven.

Little pilgrim, keep thy feet
From the devious ways of sin;
Go, where Christians love to meet,
Go, where Jesus oft hath been.

Seek his presence and his love,
On this holy Sabbath day,
Lift thy heart, and voice above,
In his temple praise and pray!

Little lamb, mayest thou be seen
Far from dangerous paths to roam,
In thy shepherd’s pastures green—
In his bosom find a home.

Never wander from his side;
Trust thy tender shepherd’s love;
He thy wayward steps will guide
Safely to his fold above.
