Text Based On Hebrews Chapter 4
For he spake in a certain place of the
seventh day on this wise, And God did
rest the seventh day from all his works.
Dear Sabbath Rest
Hark, hark the song, gliding along,
Borne on the summer breeze, far, far away;
Dear Sabbath rest, once more we come,
Hailing with glad delight this happy day;
Eyes beaming brightly, hearts bounding lightly,
Now we sing our joyous, happy songs.
Refrain
Dear Sabbath rest, once more we come,
Hailing with glad delight this happy day.
Green shady bowers, sweet blushing flowers,
Come with the summer time, blooming anew;
Morn's gentle ray, golden and bright,
Shines on the lily-bells sparkling with dew;
Beauty is calling, music is falling,
Now again earth wakes her joyful sound.
Refrain
Hark, hark the song, floating along,
Borne to the sunny land fadeless and fair;
Savior and King, gladly we bring
Praise for Thy precious love, Thy tender care;
Gathered before Thee, saints hearts adore Thee,
Savior, hear, O hear our happy songs.
Refrain
