The Sabbath is come the Sabbath is come

The Sabbath is come the Sabbath is come

Tune: THE SABBATH IS COME
Published in 2 hymnals

Representative Text

1 The Sabbath is come! The Sabbath is come!
The Sabbath so peacefully flowing,
While silence is throwing
Its veil o'er the earth;
On man now is stealing,
Each reverent feeling
Of heavenly birth,
Of heavenly birth.

2 The Sabbath is come!
The Sabbath is come!
The church-bell for worship is ringing,
Delightfully bringing
The thoughts to repose;
Come, holy emotion,
Let all be devotion
Till worship shall close.
