Excerpt from Rest and Resurrection, or the Sabbath and the Sunday Sunday's notes are a harmony of earth's hosan nabs and of heaven's hallelujahs. On its deeds are written, Glory to God in the highest, good will towards men. Faith lays hold of Sunday, and bids us believe that the Saviour rose for our justification. Hope rejoices in the Lord's-day, and writes upon its sacred hours, Christ is risen from the dead, and is become the first - fruits of them that slept. Love claims Sunday for her own possession, and urges her strongest plea, that we which live should not hence forth live unto ourselves, but unto Him that died for us and rose again. Sunday is the day on which earth and heaven may be united, joined in the one great work of direct adoration of the Universal King. The seventh link of heaven's golden chain is dropped, that we may see its beauty, and the seventh link of earth's iron chain is caught up, that it may be loosened. Flowers from heaven's paradise are showered down that we may know their fragrance, and the fading buds of earth breathe heaven's atmosphere that they may be revived.
