The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#248

248. Hail, thou bright and sacred morn

1 Hail, thou bright and sacred morn,
Risen with gladness in thy beams!
Light, which not of earth is born,
From thy dawn in glory streams;
Airs of heaven are breathed around,
And each place is holy ground.

2 Great Creator! who this day
From thy perfect work didst rest,
By the souls that own thy sway
Hallowed be its hours and blest,
Cares of earth aside be thrown,
This day given to God alone.
