Hymnal: Linden Harp #66 (1855) First Line: How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest,
The day of the week which I ought to love best--
The morning the Saviour arose from the tomb,
And took from the grave all its terror and gloom.
2 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear,
While I worship to-day may my heart be sincere;
In the school while I learn may I listen with care,
And be grateful to those who watch over me there.
3 Instruct me, my Saviour, for thine would I be,
Nor am I too young to be noticed by thee;
Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways,
I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.
4 O let me thoughtful and prayerful to-day,
And not spend a moment in trifling or play;
Rememb'ring these seasons were graciously given
To teach me to seek, and prepare me for heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: [How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest]
