Up to the Throne of God is Borne
Up to the throne of God is borne
The voice of praise at early morn,
And he accepts the punctual hymn
Sung
as the light of day grows dim:
Nor will He turn His ear aside
From holy offerings at noontide:
Then here reposing let us
raise
A song of gratitude and praise.
What though our burthen be not light,
We need not toil from morn to
night;
The respite of the mid-day hour
Is in the thankful creature’s power.
Blest are the moments, doubly
blest,
That, drawn from this one hour of rest,
Are with a ready heart bestowed
Upon the service of our God!
Each field is then a hallowed spot,
An altar is in each man’s cot,
A church in every grove that spreads
Its living roof above our
heads.
Look up to Heaven! the industrious sun
Already half his race hath run;
‘He’ cannot halt nor go
astray,
But our immortal spirits may.
Lord! since his rising in the East,
If we have faltered or
transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love’s abundant source,
What yet remains of this day’s course:
Help with Thy grace, through life’s short
day,
Our upward and our downward way;
And glorify for us the west,
When we shall sink to final rest.
