1 Sweet Sabbath School! more dear to me
Than fairest palace dome,
My heart e’er turns with joy to thee,
My own dear Sabbath Home.

Ref;
Sabbath Home! Blessed Home!
Sabbath Home! Blessed Home!
My heart e’er turns with joy to thee,
My own dear Sabbath Home.

2 Here to my willful, wand’ring heart,
The way of life is shown;
Here may I seek the better part,
And gain a Sabbath Home. [Refrain]

3 Here Jesus stands with loving voice,
Entreating me to come
And make of Him my earnest choice,
In this dear Sabbath Home. [Refrain]
