Meter: C. M.
Verse 1:
O Father! though the anxious fear
May cloud to-morrow's way,
No fear nor doubt shall enter here,鈥�

Verse 2:

And leaves this temple thine.
Verse 3:

Of earth and folly born;

From this celestial morn.
Verse 4:
To-morrow will be time enough
To feel your harsh control;
Ye shall not violate this day,
The Sabbath of the soul.
