Text: | How Sweet is the Sabbath |
Tune: | GOSHEN |
1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest,
The day of the week which I surely love best;
The morning the Saviour arose from the tomb,
And took from the grave all its terror and gloom.
2 Oh, let me be thoughtful and prayerful to-day,
And not spend a moment in trifling or play;
Remembering these seasons were graciously given
To teach me to seek and prepare me for heaven.
3 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear,
While I worship to-day, may it all be sincere;
In the school when I learn, may I do it with care,
And be grateful to those who watch over me there.
4 Instruct me, my Saviour, a child though I be,
I am not too young to be noticed by thee;
Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways,
I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.
