content: "This is the Day when Christ arose/ So early from the Dead/ Why should I keep my Eyelids close/ And waste my Hours in Bed/ This the Day when Jesus broke/ The Pow'rs of Death and Hell/ And shall I still wear ---- Yoke/ And love my sins so well/To Day with Pleasure Christians meet/To pray and hear the Word/ And I would go with cheerful feet/ To learn thy will O Lord/ I'll leave my sport to read and play/ and so prepare for Heaven/O may I love this blessed Day/The best of all the seven."
