How sweet is the Sabbath to me
Appears in 75 hymnals Matching Instances: 75 Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath to me,
The day when the Saviour arose!
'Tis heaven his beauties to see,
And in his soft arms to repose;
He knows I am weak and defiled,
My life is but empty and vain;
But if he will make me His child,
I'll never forsake him again.
2 This day he invites me to come:
How kindly he bids me draw near!
He offers me heaven for home,
And wipes off the penitent tear:
He offers to pardon my sin,
And keep me from every snare;
To sprinkle and cleanse me within,
And show me his tenderest care.
3 I cannot, I must not, refuse;
His goodness has conquer'd my heart:
The Lord for my portion I choose,
And bid all my folly depart.
How sweet is the Sabbath to me,
The day my Redeemer arose!
'Tis heaven his beauties to see,
And to his soft arms to repose. Used With Tune: DE FLEURY

How Sweet is the Sabbath
Hymnal: Living Hymns #356 (1890) First Line: How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning best Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest,
The day of the week which I surely love best;
The morning the Saviour arose from the tomb,
And took from the grave all its terror and gloom.
2 Oh, let me be thoughtful and prayerful to-day,
And not spend a moment in trifling or play;
Remembering these seasons were graciously given
To teach me to seek and prepare me for heaven.
3 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear,
While I worship to-day, may it all be sincere;
In the school when I learn, may I do it with care,
And be grateful to those who watch over me there.
4 Instruct me, my Saviour, a child though I be,
I am not too young to be noticed by thee;
Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways,
I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Sabbath" in The Boston Sunday School Hymn Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
