Hail happy morning, hail, holy day,
Calling from earthly labors away,
Sweet words of wisdom,
glad songs of joy,
Now be our best employ.
Sing once more
the happy, happy song,
While the golden moments
roll along,
“Come to the temple,
come, come away,
Hallow the Sabbath day.”
Emblem of heaven,
sweet day of rest,
In thy “remembrance,”
may we be blessed.
So may our songs
and lives ever say,
“Hallow the Sabbath day.”
Sing once more
the happy, happy song,
While the golden moments
roll along,
“Come to the temple,
come, come away,
Hallow the Sabbath day.”
Rest from our labors,
rest from our cares,
Rest in our praises,
rest in our prayers,
So the commandment
would we obey,
“Hallow the Sabbath day.”
Sing once more
the happy, happy song,
While the golden moments
roll along,
“Come to the temple,
come, come away,
Hallow the Sabbath day.”
