Text:Pleasant is the Sabbath bell

17c. Pleasant is the Sabbath bell

1 Pleasant is the Sabbath bell,
In the light, in the light,
Seeming much of joy to tell,
In the light, in the light,
But a music sweeter far.
In the light, in the light,
Breathes where angel spirits are
In the light of God.

Refrain:
Let us walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Let us walk in the light,
In the light of God.

2 Shall we ever rise to dwell
Where immortal praises swell?
And can children ever go
Where eternal Sabbaths glow? [Refrain]

3 Yes, that bliss our own may be,
All the good shall Jesus see,
For the good a rest remains,
Where the glorious Saviour reigns. [Refrain]
