Hymnal: Living Hymns #409 (1890) Hymnal Title: Living Hymns First Line: When the worn spirit wants repose Lyrics: 1 When the worn spirit wants repose,
And sighs her God to seek,
How sweet to hail the hours that close
That ends the weary week!
2 How sweet to hail the early dawn
That opens on the sight,
When first the soul-reviving morn
Beams its new rays of light!
3 Sweet day, thine hours too soon will cease;
Yet while they gently roll,
Breathe, Holy Spirit, source of peace,
A Sabbath o'er my soul.
4 When will my pilgrimage be done,
The world's long week be o'er,
That Sabbath dawn which needs no sun,
That day which fades no more? Languages: English
