The Sabbath Bell

Representative Text

1 Listen to the sabbath bell,
Sweetly shining through the dell;
Calling children to the place
Where they learn of Jesus' grace.

Chorus:
Sweetly chiming, sabbath bell!
Children love thy music well,
Sabbath bell, sabbath bell;
Thou of holy things dost tell.

2 Teachers with their words so mild,
Winning love from ev'ry child,
Wait to greet us in the school
With its gentle, loving rule. [Chorus]

3 There they tell of Jesus' love,
Leaving his bright home above;
Bearing all earth's pain and loss,
Even dying on the cross. [Chorus]

4 And they tell us too how we
May this loving Saviour see;
How to walk the way he trod,
Upward to the throne of God. [Chorus]

5 'Tis to this the chiming bells
Call us as their music swells;
To the school we haste away,
On this holy sabbath day. [Chorus]
