SAVIOUR, thy sacred day Is subject to thy sway, Made thy pleasure to fulfil; Thou, the Son of man, alone Canst, according to thy will, Abrogate or change thine own.

The love the day designed A blessing to mankind; But thy more abundant grace, Gospel grace unsearchable, Bade the Jewish feast give place, Fixed the Christian festival.

Lord of the hallowed day, Once more thy power display; Now returning from above, Change it to that heavenly feast, Sabbath of celestial love, Sabbath of eternal rest.
