Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #108 (1870) Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath to me,
The day when the Saviour arose!
'Tis heaven his beauties to see,
And in his soft arms to repose;
He knows I am weak and defiled,
My life is but empty and vain;
But if he will make me His child,
I'll never forsake him again.
2 This day he invites me to come:
How kindly he bids me draw near!
He offers me heaven for home,
And wipes off the penitent tear:
He offers to pardon my sin,
And keep me from every snare;
To sprinkle and cleanse me within,
And show me his tenderest care.
3 I cannot, I must not, refuse;
His goodness has conquer'd my heart:
The Lord for my portion I choose,
And bid all my folly depart.
How sweet is the Sabbath to me,
The day my Redeemer arose!
'Tis heaven his beauties to see,
And to his soft arms to repose. Tune Title: DE FLEURY
