Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #307 (1886) Tune Title: GERMANY Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flowed the gospel sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered round,
And joy and gladness filled the place!
2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke.
To heaven he led his followers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unvailing an immortal day.
3 He points us to his Father's home,
"Come, all ye weary ones, and rest;"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest! Topics: Christ Life and Character
