Author: Rev. E. H. Nevin Hymnal: Light and Life #8 (1881) First Line: At morning's dawn I love to hear Refrain First Line: The Sabbath bell! The Sabbath bell! Lyrics: 1 At morning's dawn I love to hear
The Sabbath bell so fresh and clear:
And when the golden sun has set,
I love to bear its music yet.
Chorus:
The Sabbath bell! The Sabbath bell!
I love it well, I love it well;
I love the ding dong bell!
2 It makes the young hearts leap and sing
With sound of soft and pleasant ring,
For when it falls upon their ear,
They know the Sabbath school is near. [Chorus]
3 It calls the weary ones to rest,
And calms the sad and troubled breast;
With stirring peals that float abroad,
It makes the careless think of God. [Chorus]
4 O, may it ring, till everywhere
Its welcome music fills the air,
And earth, now wrapt in gloomy night,
Be crown'd with Sabbath's holy light. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [At morning's dawn I love to hear]
