The Voice of Praise ‎#1022

1022. Strains of music often greet me

1 Strains of music often greet me
As I join the busy throng,
But there's nothing half so pleasant
As the holy Sabbath song.

Cho.--No fear of ill, no fear of wrong,
While I can sing my Sabbath song;
My Sabbath song, my Sabbath song;
I love to sing my Sabbath song.

2 'Tis a song of love and mercy,
Speaking peace to all mankind;
Telling sinners, poor and needy,
Where the Saviour they may find.

Chorus.--No fear of ill, &c.

3 Angels sweetly sing in glory
Songs of praise to God their King;
But the song of blessed redemption
Man, redeemed, alone can sing.

Chorus.--No fear of ill, &c.

4 While I love, oh, may I ever
Love the holy Sabbath song;
And when death shall call me homeward,
Join it with the blood-bought throng.

Chorus.--No fear of ill, &c.
