How sweet the light of Sabbath eve
1
How sweet the light of Sabbath eve!How soft the sunbeams lingering there!For these blest hours the world I leave,Wafted on wings of faith and prayer.

Season of rest! the tranquil soulFeels the sweet calm, and melts in love;And while these sacred moments roll,Faith sees a smiling heaven above.

Nor will our days of toil be long;Our pilgrimage will soon be trod;And we shall join the ceaseless song,The endless Sabbath of our God.
