O sweet Sabbath bells!
Hymnal: VoP1883 #30 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 O sweet Sabbath bells!
A message of musical chiming
Ye bring us from God, And we know what you say;
Now rising, now falling,
So tunefully calling
His children to seek Him, and praise Him today.
2 They day we love best!
The brightest and best of the seven,
The pearl of the week, and the light of our way;
We hold it a treasure,
And count it a pleasure,
To welcome its dawning, and praise Him to-day.
3 O sweet Sabbath rest!
The gift of our Father in heaven;
A herald sent down from the home far away,
With peace for the weary,
And joy for the dreary,
Then, oh! let us thank Him, and praise Him to-day.
Amen.

O sweet Sabbath bells!
Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
Hymnal: VoP1883 #31 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise;
We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease,
Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace.
2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way:
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day;
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.
3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;
From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.
4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
Amen. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
All is bright and cheerful round us
Hymnal: VoP1883 #32 (1883) Lyrics: 1 All is bright and cheerful round us,
All above is soft and blue;
Spring at last hath come and found us,
Spring and all its pleasures too;
Every flower is full of gladness;
Dew is bright and birds are gay;
Earth, with all its sin and sadness,
Seems a happy place today.
2 If the flowers, that fade so quickly,
If a day, that ends in night,
If the sky, that clouds so thickly
Often cover from our sight,--
If they all have so much beauty,
What must be God's Land of Rest,
Where His sons, that do their duty,
After many toils are blest?
3 There are leaves that never wither,
There are flowers that ne'er decay;
Nothing evil goeth thither,
Nothing good is kept away.
They that came from tribulation,
Washed their robes and made them white.
Out of every tongue and nation,
They have rest, and peace, and light.
Amen. Topics: The Seasons Spring Languages: English Tune Title: LUX EOI
All is bright and cheerful round us
Summer suns are glowing
Hymnal: VoP1883 #33 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Summer suns are glowing
Over land and sea,
Happy light is flowing
Bountiful and free.
Everything rejoices
In the mellow rays,
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth
Everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above,
Shines in might victorious
His eternal Love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness,
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy loving kindness
Make us love Thee more.
And when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky,
Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be Thou nigh.
4 We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark, without Thee;
Death with Thee is bright.
Light of Light! shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way,
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.
Amen. Topics: The Seasons Summer Languages: English Tune Title: RUTH
Summer suns are glowing
The year is swiftly waning
Hymnal: VoP1883 #34 (1883) Lyrics: 1 The year is swiftly waning,
The summer days are past;
And life, brief life, is speeding:
The end is nearing fast.
2 The ever-changing seasons
In silence come and go;
But Thou, Eternal Father,
No time or change canst know.
3 Oh! pour Thy grace upon us
That we may worthier be,
Each year that passes o'er us,
To dwell in Heaven with Thee.
4 Behold, the bending orchards
With bounteous fruit are crowned;
Lord, in our hearts more richly
Let heavenly fruits abound.
5 Oh! by each mercy sent us,
And by each grief and pain,
By blessings like the sunshine,
And sorrows like the rain,
6 Our barren hearts make fruitful
With every goodly grace,
That we Thy Name may hallow,
And see at last Thy Face.
Amen. Topics: The Seasons Autumn Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMNIA
The year is swiftly waning
Winter reigneth o'er the land
Hymnal: VoP1883 #35 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Winter reigneth o'er the land,
Freezing with its icy breath;
Dead and bare the tall trees stand;
All is chill and drear as death.
2 Yet it seemeth but a day
Since the summer flowers were here,
Since they stacked the balmy hay,
Since they reaped the golden ear.
3 Sunny days are past and gone:
So the years go, speeding fast,
Onward ever, each new one
Swifter speeding than the last.
4 Life is waning; life is brief:
Death, like winter, standeth nigh:
Each one, like the falling leaf,
Soon shall fade, and fall, and die.
5 But the sleeping earth shall wake,
And the flowers shall burst in bloom,
And all Nature rising break
Glorious from its wintry tomb.
6 So, Lord, after slumber blest
Comes a bright awakening,
And our flesh in hope shall rest
Of a never-fading Spring.
Amen. Topics: The Seasons Winter Languages: English Tune Title: BEDWYN
Winter reigneth o'er the land
Behold! behold He cometh
Hymnal: VoP1883 #36 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Behold! behold He cometh,
Who doth salvation bring;
Lift up hour heads rejoicing,
And welcome Zion's King;
With hymns of joy we praise the Lord,
Hosanna to th' Incarnate Word!
2 Hosanna to the Saviour,
Who came on Christmas morn,
And, of a lowly Virgin,
Was in a stable born;
Immanuel! Blessed Jesus! come!
Within Thy children make Thy home.
3 Yea, come in love and meekness
Our Saviour now to be;
Come to be formed in us,
And make us like to Thee,
Before the Day of Wrath draw near,
When, as our Judge, Thou shalt appear.
4 Soon shalt Thou sit in glory
Upon "the great White Throne,"
And punish all the wicked,
And recompense Thine own;
When every word and deed and thought
To righteous judgment shall be bright.
5 Here, good and bad are mingled;
But on that Judgment Day
The Angels shall divide them,
And take the bad away;
Grant, Lord, that we be faithful found
When the last trumpet-call shall sound!

Behold! behold He cometh
Lift up the Advent strain!
Hymnal: VoP1883 #37 (1883) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lift up the Advent strain!
Behold the Lord is nigh!
Greet His approach, ye saints, again,
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son,
Incarnate deigns to be;
Our God the form of slave puts on,
A race of slaves to free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet Thy lowly King.
Nor let the faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As Judge in clouds of light
He shall come down again,
And all His scattered saints unite
With Him in Heaven to reign.
5 Before that dreadful day
May all our sins be gone,
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.
6 Jesus, all praise to Thee,
Our joy and endless rest;
We pray Thee here our Guide to be
Our crown amid the blest.
Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: GOSS

Dear children, evermore
Hymnal: VoP1883 #38 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Dear children, evermore
In God your Lord rejoice;
And render praises meet,
With heart, and soul, and voice.
2 In all things sober be,
For Jesus is at hand;
So live that when He comes
Accepted ye may stand.
3 Cast ye aside all care,
And with glad heart alway,
Make known your every want;
God loves to hear you pray.
4 With every meek request
Let praises glad ascend,
For praise like incense sweet
Should with petition blend.
5 A glad and thankful heart
Wins blessings from the skies,
And is a sacrifice
Most precious in God's eyes.
6 Then in the Lord alway,
O children dear, rejoice;
And glorify His Name,
With heart, and soul, and voice.
Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent Languages: English Tune Title: JENNER
Dear children, evermore
Up in heaven, up in heaven
Hymnal: VoP1883 #39 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Up in heaven, up in heaven,
In the bright place far away,
He whom bad men crucified
Sitteth at His Father's side,
Till the Judgment Day.
2 And He loves His little children,
And He pleads for children there,
Asking the great God of heaven
That their sins may be forgiven,
And He hears their prayers.
3 Nevermore a helpless Baby,
Born in poverty and pain;
But with awful glory crowned,
With His Angels standing round,
He shall come again.
4 Then the wicked souls shall tremble,
And the good souls shall rejoice;
Parents, children, every one,
Then shall stand before His Throne,
And shall hear His voice.
5 And all faithful, holy Christians,
Who their Master's work have done,
Shall appear at His right hand,
And inherit the fair land
That His love has won.
Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent; Our Lord Jesus Christ His Ascension; Hymns for Little Children Languages: English Tune Title: IN COELIS
