393- Lord of the Sabbath

Doctrines: Sabbath

1

  • Lord of the Sabbath and its light,
  • I hail Thy hallowed day of rest;
  • It is my weary soul's delight,
  • The solace of my careworn breast,
  • The solace of my careworn breast.

2

  • O sacred day of peace and joy,
  • Thy hours are ever dear to me;
  • Ne'er may a sinful thought destroy
  • The holy calm I find in thee,
  • The holy calm I find in thee.

3

  • How sweetly now they glide along!
  • How hallowed is the calm they yield!
  • Transporting is their rapturous song,
  • And heavenly visions seem revealed,
  • And heavenly visions seem revealed.

4

  • O Jesus, let me ever hail
  • Thy presence with the day of rest;
  • Then will Thy servant never fail
  • To deem Thy Sabbath doubly blest,
  • To deem Thy Sabbath doubly blest.
