Appears in 75 hymnals First Line: How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest, The day of the week which I ought to love best-- The morning the Saviour arose from the tomb, And took from the grave all its terror and gloom. 2 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear, While I worship to-day may my heart be sincere; In the school while I learn may I listen with care, And be grateful to those who watch over me there. 3 Instruct me, my Saviour, for thine would I be, Nor am I 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. 4 O let me thoughtful and prayerful to-day, And not spend a moment in trifling or play; Rememb'ring these seasons were graciously given To teach me to seek, and prepare me for heaven.

What Heavenly Music

Meter: 11.11.12.11 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: What heavenly music steals over the sea Lyrics: 1. What heavenly music steals over the sea! Entrancing the senses like sweet melody! ’Tis the voice of the angels, borne soft on the air; For me they are singing; their welcome I hear. 2. On the banks of old Jordan, here gazing I stand, And earnestly longing, I stretch forth my hand; Send a convoy of angels, dear Jesus, I pray! Let me join that sweet music; come, take me away. 3. Though dark are the waters and rough is the wave, If Jesus permit, the wild surges I’ll brave; For that heavenly music hath ravished me so, I must join in that chorus! I’ll go! Let me go.
