1 Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
Thou gift from God, I love thee;
I hail thy dawning in the east,
Thou bringest rest to man and beast.
Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
Earth has no gift above thee.
2 Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
Thy bells betimes are ringing,
And happy faces throng the street,
The Lord within his house to meet.
Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
God’s peace o’er all earth flinging.
3 Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
Care’s burdens thou unbindest;
Grief hides her head on Jesus’ breast,
He whispers of his tearless rest.
Sweet Sabbath day, Sweet Sabbath day!
Man’s truest friend and kindest.
