The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#67

67. Sabbath morning

1 Fair and bright the morning
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Clear and sweet bells tolling,
Call us on our pleasant way.

Chorus:
Beautiful Sabbath morning,
Full of the lessons of life;
Robed in thy bright adorning,
Stilled is earthly strife.

2 Past is all the toiling
Of the long and weary week,
In thy sacred stillness,
Blessings of our Lord we seek. [Chorus]

3 Blessings freely flowing
From his ever plenteous grace;
When we kneeling lowly,
See the shining of his face. [Chorus]

4 In His house most holy,
Sweet the sacred teachings given,
Leading us rejoicing
To eternal rest in heaven. [Chorus]
