Beautiful Sabbath,
how peaceful the light,
Wafted from Eden
so tranquil and bright;
Drawing us nearer
to Jesus our King,
While in His temple
we gather and sing.
Beautiful Sabbath of rest,
sweet rest,
Beautiful Sabbath,
divinely blest,
Youthful and happy
the hearts we bring,
Praising our gracious
Redeemer and King.
Beautiful Sabbath,
we hallow the hours,
Silently bearing
the odor of flowers;
Planted in gardens
that never decay,
Blooming in sunshine
that fades not away.
Beautiful Sabbath of rest,
sweet rest,
Beautiful Sabbath,
divinely blest,
Youthful and happy
the hearts we bring,
Praising our gracious
Redeemer and King.
Beautiful Sabbath,
when Jesus our Lord
Bids us devoutly
remember His Word;
Opens its treasures
of wisdom so dear,
Treasures that sparkle
our young hearts to cheer.
Beautiful Sabbath of rest,
sweet rest,
Beautiful Sabbath,
divinely blest,
Youthful and happy
the hearts we bring,
Praising our gracious
Redeemer and King.
Beautiful Sabbath,
when labor and care
Yield to the rapture
of song and of prayer;
Precious the moments
that now from above,
Tenderly whisper
a message of love.
Beautiful Sabbath of rest,
sweet rest,
Beautiful Sabbath,
divinely blest,
Youthful and happy
the hearts we bring,
Praising our gracious
Redeemer and King.
