Author: J. H. Perkins Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #455 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: By earth hemmed in, by earth oppressed Lyrics:
By earth hemmed in, by earth oppressed,
’Tis hard to labor,—hard to pray;
And of the week, for prayer and rest,
We’ve but one Sabbath day.
But purer spirits walk above,
Who worship alway; who are blest
With an upspringing might of love
That makes all labor, rest.
Father, while here, we would arise
In spirit to that realm; and there
Be every act a sacrifice,
And every thought a prayer!
