Sweet is the Sabbath of the Lord
1
Sweet is the Sabbath of the LordTo those who in his law delight;Who love the precepts of his word,And tread the narrow path of right.
2
This holy day Jehovah blessedEre sorrow, pain, or death were born,And sanctified for man his restIn glad creation's sinless morn.
3
It speaks of him whose wondrous mightThe heavens and earth from nothing made;Who formed the glorious orbs of light,And the deep sea's foundations laid.
4
Its sacred hours, ye saints of God,Remember with respect and love;And through obedience to his wordYour love for your Creator prove.
5
And, when, immortalized we seeThe treasures of the new earth bright,God's holy Sabbath still shall beA source of blessing and delight.
