62. Remember the Sabbath Day

1 The Sabbath comes, with holy light,
And its rest we gladly greet:
And unto all, on its peaceful wings,
There is borne this message sweet.

Chorus:
Remember, remember,
Remember the Sabbath day,
And keep it holy, holy to the Lord,
Remember the Sabbath day.

2 It calls for peace in heart and home,
And for rest from toil and care:
It calls for thanks, that are sweet to lift,
For the blessings that we share. [Chorus]

3 It calls for joy and simple faith,
As we meet to praise and pray:
It calls for thought that will sweetly flow
With the teachings of the day. [Chorus]

4 It calls for zeal in doing well,
And for loving deed and word:
It calls, in truth, for a day well spent
In the service of the Lord. [Chorus]
