The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#24

24. Pleasant is the Sabbath bell

Girls:
1 Pleasant is the Sabbath bell,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
Seeming much of joy to tell,

Boys:
In the light, in the light of God.

Girls:
But a music sweeter far,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
Breathes where angel spirits are,

Boys:
In the light, the light of God.

Full Chorus:
Let us walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Let us walk in the light,
In the light of God.
Let us walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Let us walk in the light of God.

Girls:
2 Shall we ever rise to dwell,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
Where immortal praises swell,

Boys:
In the light, the light of God?

Girls:
And can children ever go,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
Where eternal Sabbaths glow,

Boys:
In the light, the light of God? [Full Chorus]

Girls:
3 Yes, that bliss our own may be,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
All the good shall Jesus see,

Boys:
In the light, the light of God.

Girls:
For the good a rest remains,

Boys:
In the light, in the light,

Girls:
Where the glorious Saviour reigns,

Boys:
In the light, the light of God. [Full Chorus]
