Excerpt from book:
THE ARK IN THE HOUSE. FIRST WEEK. -tarring. O Lord God of the Sabbath ! who hast in Thy tender love given unto man, wearied with toil, and burdened with sin, a Sabbath of holy rest, we would especially thank Thee, and praise Thy name for this Thy precious gift. Give us a due sense of Thy unspeakable love, that we may prize Thine earthly Sabbaths as our sweetest privilege and richest inheritance here. Alas ! Father, on other days, encumbered with cares, harassed by trials, and, it may be, drawn aside by the anxieties and claims of life, we find not time—we make not time—for that more intimate and especial communion with Thee we so much need. We therefore bless Thee for this Thy returning gift of earthly Sabbaths. Yea, Holy Father, ah1 is Thine—the day is Thine, the grace is Thine, the peace is Thine,—oh, then, give the grace to love Sabbath-days, and vouchsafe to us peace in them and peace from them. We have sought peace in the world, and the things of the world, but they have brought only vexation, disappointment, and unrest. Oh then, Lord, suffer not the world, either in its cares or its vanities, to enter in and dispossess our hearts of any portion of this day's appointed blessing. Give us to watch with holy jealousy both over the inlets and the outlets of our hearts, that no thought may enter, and no desire go forth, to intercept or dim the holy atmosphere of Sabbath employments and Sabbath enjoyments. We are now, Lord, shortly to go forth to Thy public worship ; grant that we may not waste or misemploy the time before the public duties of the day in trifling orunseemly occupations; but keep alive in all our hearts that spirit of devotion, which, we trust, Thou hast already kindled. Holy Spirit ef God! without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, we pray Thee...
