George Herbert on Sabbath
← Back to George Herbert Profile
“Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky.”
“Sundaies observe: think when the bells do chime, 'Tis angel's musick; therefore come not late.”
“The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string, Make bracelets to adorn the wife Of the eternal, glorious King. On Sunday heaven's gates stand ope; Blessings are plentiful and rife. More plentiful than hope.”
