199. One More Sabbath Farther On

1 In our march to Zion’s city
Now another week is gone;
We are, in our journey homeward,
One more Sabbath farther on.

Chorus:
One more Sabbath farther on,
One more Sabbath farther on,
As we go to meet the King,
In our pilgrimage we sing,
One more Sabbath farther on.

2 On the way our loving Father
Never has his care withdrawn,
And we are, in his dear keeping,
One more Sabbath farther on. [Chorus]

3 We are one more Sabbath nearer
To the misty shore of time,
Nearer to the land of promise,
Nearer Canaan’s sunny clime. [Chorus]

4 Soon we’ll cross the rolling Jordan,
Soon we’ll reach the rest beyond,
When the light of God’s long Sabbath
On our happy souls has dawned. [Chorus]
