Text:Sabbath Morning
Tune:[Oh, the Sabbath morning, beautiful and bright]
Composer:J. M. Castle

102. Sabbath Morning

1 Oh, the Sabbath morning, beautiful and bright,
Joyfully we hail its welcome, golden light;
All the gloomy shadows chasing far away,
Bringing us the pleasant day.

Chorus:
Day, so calm and holy, day so near to heaven;
Blessed day a Father's boundless love has given;
Oh, the Sabbath morning, beautiful and bright,
Glad we hail its golden light.

2 All the days of labor ended, one by one,
Glad are we the six days' work is past and gone;
Glad to have a day of sweet and holy rest,
'Tis the day that God has blest. [Chorus]

3 Let us spend the moments of this holy day,
So that when at last they all have passed away,
Sweet 'twill be to think the quiet Sabbath ev'n
Brings us one day nearer heaven. [Chorus]
