15911. The Sabbath Bell

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 hear its music yet.

Refrain:
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 heart leap and sing
With sound of soft and pleasant ring;
For when it falls upon their ear,
They know the Sabbath school is near. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
