62. Dawning in the Valley

1 Dawning in the valley,
Smiling o'er the hill.
Lo! the Sabbath morning,
Peaceful calm and still.
Cheers the drooping spirit,
With its golden rays,
While we greet its coming
With a song of praise,
While we greet its coming
With a song of praise.

Chorus:
Welcome day, holy day,
Hear the passing moments gently say,
Watch and pray,
Come to Jesus, come away.

2 While in joyful chorus
Chime the Sabbath bells,
Let us seek the temple
Where our Father dwells,
Bending there before him,
Ask for grace divine,
Light of hope eternal,
In our hearts to shine. [Chorus]

3 Day of rest from labor,
Pure and tranquil rest;
Day of sweet refreshing,
By our Father blest,
May our soul's devotion
Kindle while we sing,
Praise to him who made it,
Praise to God our King. [Chorus]
