Text based on Exodus Chapter 20
But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God:

Beautiful Sabbath

Beautiful Sabbath, when labour and care
Yield to the delight of song and of prayer;
Precious the moments that now from above,
Tenderly whisper a message of love.

Refrain
Beautiful Sabbath of rest, sweet rest,
Beautiful Sabbath, divinely blest,
Youthful and happy the hearts we bring,
Praising our gracious Redeemer and King.

Beautiful Sabbath, how peaceful the light,
Wafted from Eden so tranquil and bright;
Drawing us nearer to Jesus our King,
While in His temple we gather and sing.

Refrain

Beautiful Sabbath, we hallow the hours,
Silently bearing the odor of flowers;
Planted in gardens that never decay,
Blooming in sunshine that fades not away.

Refrain

Beautiful Sabbath, when Jesus our Lord
Bids us devoutly remember His Word;
Opens its treasures of wisdom so dear,
Treasures that sparkle our young hearts to cheer.

Refrain
