Tune: | [How sweet the blessed Sabbath day] |
Composer: | Florence W. Williams |
1 How sweet the blessed Sabbath day,
The day of rest and gladness;
The day of peace, on which we may
Be free from care and sadness.
Ref:
O Sabbath, thou art dear to me,
Blest day that God has given;
Fair shadow of eternity,
The earthly type of Heaven.
2 Of all the days thou art most dear,
Emblem of Heaven’s morning;
Thou com’st the weary heart to cheer,
With heav’nly grace adorning. [Refrain]
3 Love sits enthroned upon thy face,
A reflex of the giver;
While joy and praise fill every place,
And peace flows like a river. [Refrain]
4 Strength on this day while life shall last
For duty we are gaining;
We have, when Sabbaths here are past,
A heav’nly rest remaining. [Refrain]
