The Sabbath Chime

Bright and bless­èd morn­ing

How I love thy dawn­ing

Hark! the sound­ing bells;

Deep tones

is the call­ing

On the ear ’tis fall­ing

Love and peace it tells.

Weary wan­der­er weep­ing

God the Fa­ther seek­ing

Hither

hi­ther come;

O’er the heart is steal­ing

Love’s de­vot­ed feel­ing

To the heav’n­ly One.

While the tones are peal­ing

In the tem­ple kneel­ing

Join the Sab­bath chime.

Emblem to us giv­en

Of the voice of Heav­en

Melody di­vine.
