Sabbath Morning Bells

Holy Sab­bath

hap­py morn­ing

Joyfully the bells we hear;

Sweetly call­ing

gent­ly call­ing

Us to praise and pray­er.

Sweetly sound­ing thro’ each street

and

Floating on the qui­et air

Comes the dear fa­mil­iar greet­ing

Calling us to pray­er.

Holy Sab­bath

glad young voic­es

Welcome you with joy­ous song

While the ag­èd heart re­joic­es

With the youth­ful throng.

May the light of this blest morn­ing

Every youth­ful heart il­lume

With a cheer­ful sac­red pre­sence

That shall ban­ish gloom.

Basking in the ho­ly ra­di­ance

Of this bless­èd Sab­bath morn

May the bless­èd an­gels keep us

Till an­oth­er dawn;

And when earth’s best

pur­est love-light

Fadeth from our sight away

May our ris­en Sav­ior take us

To His end­less day.
