1 Voices of gladness are singing,
Jubilant bells now are ringing,
Love, a rich blessing is bringing,
On the holy Sabbath day.
Refrain:
On the holy Sabbath Day,
The holy Sabbath Day,
The blessed time when the Saviour rose,
The pearly gates unclose
And the joy-bells sweetly chime,
The joy-bells sweetly chime,
They chime, chime, chime, chime,
The joy-bells sweetly chime.
2 Strength for the needs of the morrow,
Comfort for trial and sorrow,
Light from its glory we borrow,
On the holy Sabbath day. [Refrain]
3 Christ, to our spirits seems nearer,
Brightness eternal grows clearer,
Calvary’s story is dearer
On the holy Sabbath day. [Refrain]
4 Pledge of the rest still remaining,
Where there’s no sin nor complaining,
Glimpses of Heaven we’re gaining
On the holy Sabbath day. [Refrain]
