Dear Sabbath Home

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1895
Composer: Howard Doane

Hark

hark the song

glid­ing along

Borne on the sum­mer breeze

far

far away;

Dear Sab­bath home

once more we come

Hailing with glad de­light this hap­py day;

Eyes beam­ing bright­ly

hearts bound­ing light­ly

Now we sing our mer­ry

mer­ry lay.

Dear Sab­bath home

once more we come

Hailing with glad de­light this hap­py day.

Green shady bo­wers

sweet blush­ing flow­ers

Come with the sum­mer time

bloom­ing anew;

Morn’s gen­tle ray

gold­en and gay

Shines on the li­ly-bells spark­ling with dew;

Beauty is call­ing

mu­sic is fall­ing

Now again earth wakes her joy­ful lay.

Hark

hark the song

float­ing along

Borne to the sun­ny land fade­less and fair;

Savior and King

glad­ly we bring

Praise for Thy pre­cious love

Thy ten­der care;

Gathered be­fore Thee

young hearts ad­ore Thee

Savior

hear

O hear our hap­py lay.
