The Sabbath--Soon will set the Sabbath sun

Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: Soon will set the Sabbath sun Lyrics: 1 Soon will set the Sabbath sun, Soon the sacred day be gone; But a sweeter rest remains, Where a glorious Saviour reigns. Pleasant is the Sabbath bell, Seeming much of joy to tell; Kind our teachers seem today, In the school we love to stay. 3 But a music, sweeter far, Breathes where angel-spirits are; Higher far than earthly strains, Where the rest of God remains. 4 Yes:--that rest our own may be, All the good shall Jesus see; For the good a rest remains, Where the glorious Saviour reigns. Used With Tune: [Soon will set the Sabbath sun] Text Sources: Spanish Hymn
