HOLY TIME - ZaunköniG - 15.04.2022
HOLY TIME.
O THOU, by whom Eternal Life is given, ,
Through Jesus Christ, thy well-beloved Son ;
As is thy will obeyed by all in heaven,
So let it now by all on earth be done !
Not by th' observance of one day in seven
As holy time, but of ALL DAYS AS ONE ;
The soul set free all legal fetters riven
Vanished the law the reign of grace begun !
Dear is the Christian Sabbath to my heart,
Bound by no forms from times and seasons free ;
The whole of life absorbing not a part ;
Perpetual rest and perfect liberty !
Who keeps not this, steers by a Jewish chart,
And sails in peril on a storm-tossed sea!
