Calvary Songs ‎#11c

11c. Strains of music often greet me

1 Strains of music often greet me,
As I join the busy throng;
But there's nothing half so pleasant
As the holy Sabbath song.

Refrain:
No fear of ill, no fear of wrong,
While I can sing my Sabbath song;
My Sabbath song, my Sabbath song,
I love to sing my Sabbath song.

2 'Tis a song of love and mercy,
Speaking peace to all mankind;
Telling sinners, poor and needy,
Where the Saviour they may find. [Refrain]

3 Angels sweetly sing in glory
Songs of praise to God, their King;
But the song of blest redemption
Man, redeemed, alone can sing. [Refrain]

4 While I live, oh, may I ever
Love the holy Sabbath song;
And when death shall call me homeward,
Join it with the blood-bought throng. [Refrain]
