Don’t Forget the Sabbath

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1871
Composer: William Bradbury

Don’t for­get the Sab­bath

The Lord our God hath blest

Of all the week the bright­est

Of all the week the best;

It brings re­pose from la­bor

It tells of joy di­vine

Its beams of light des­cend­ing

With heav’n­ly beau­ty shine.

Welcome

wel­come

ev­er wel­come

Blessèd Sab­bath day

Welcome

wel­come

ev­er wel­come

Blessèd Sab­bath day.

Keep the Sab­bath ho­ly

And wor­ship Him to­day

Who said to His dis­ci­ples

I am the liv­ing way;

And if we meek­ly fol­low

Our Sav­ior here be­low

He’ll give us of the fount­ain

Whose streams eter­nal flow.

Day of sacr­ed plea­sure!

Its gold­en hours we’ll spend

In thank­ful hymns to Je­sus

The child­ren’s dear­est friend;

O gen­tle

lov­ing

Sav­ior

How good and kind Thou art

How prec­ious is Thy pro­mise

To dwell in ev­ery heart!
