Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #351 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
The Sabbath of the Lord,
The Sabbath is our day,
For then we read and hear God's word,
We learn to praise and pray.
Ours is the Sunday school,
Its lessons may we prize,
And grow by every gospel rule
Unto salvation wise.
So all our lives below,
In Wisdom's pleasant ways,
The fruits of Sunday schools shalt show,
The bliss of Sabbath days.
Lord of the Sabbath, send
Prosperity and peace,
Till tasks and teaching here shall end,
Tongues fail, and knowledge cease.
374
Then heaven itself shall be
One Sunday school above;
An undisturb'd eternity
One Sabbath day of love.
