  Beautiful Sabbath, how peaceful the light, Wafted from Eden so tranquil and bright; Drawing us nearer to Jesus our King, While in His temple we gather and sing. Refrain Beautiful Sabbath of rest, sweet rest, Beautiful Sabbath, divinely blest, Youthful and happy the hearts we bring, Praising our gracious Redeemer and King. Beautiful Sabbath, we hallow the hours, Silently bearing the odor of flowers; Planted in gardens that never decay, Blooming in sunshine that fades not away. Refrain Beautiful Sabbath, when Jesus our Lord Bids us devoutly remember His Word; Opens its treasures of wisdom so dear, Treasures that sparkle our young hearts to cheer. Refrain Beautiful Sabbath, when labor and care Yield to the rapture of song and of prayer; Precious the moments that now from above, Tenderly whisper a message of love. Refrain

  Come, let us all with one accord Adore and magnify the Lord, And festive service pay. On this the day that God hath blest, The day of peace and heavenly rest, The Lord’s own holy day. That saw primeval darkness break, And that more glorious life awake That lasteth evermore. That saw hell’s legions prostrate fall, And Christ, triumphant over all, His own to heaven restore. This day the peace that flows from heaven Was unto the Apostles given, When doors were closed at night. This day the Holy Spirit’s flame Upon the Church’s teachers came, And filled their souls with light. Still on this day with trumpet sound The Gospel notes were ringing round, To call the world to pray. Then on this day let us adore Our God and supplication pour, That, when worlds pass away, Through Christ’s dear grace our souls may rest In peace and joy, forever blest, Till the great Judgment Day.

  O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, most beautiful, most bright: On Thee, the high and lowly, through ages joined in tune, Sing holy, holy, holy, to the great God Triune. On Thee, at the creation, the light first had its birth; On Thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On Thee, our Lord, victorious, the Spirit sent from Heaven, And thus on Thee, most glorious, a triple light was given. Thou art a port, protected from storms that round us rise; A garden, intersected with streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain in life’s dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah’s mountain, we view our promised land. Thou art a holy ladder, where angels go and come; Each Sunday finds us gladder, nearer to Heaven, our home; A day of sweet refection, thou art a day of love, A day of resurrection from earth to things above. Today on weary nations the heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations the silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing with pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing, with soul refreshing streams.

• [Heb 4:9] Blessed Homeland

  Gliding o’er life’s fitful waters, Heavy surges sometimes roll; And we sigh for yonder haven, For the homeland of the soul. Refrain Blessèd homeland, ever fair! Sin can never enter there; But the soul, to life awaking, Everlasting bloom shall wear. Oft we catch a faint reflection, Of its bright and vernal hills; And, though distant, how we hail it! How each heart with rapture thrills! Refrain To our Father, and our Savior, To the Spirit, Three in One, We shall sing glad songs of triumph When our harvest work is done. Refrain ’Tis the weary pilgrim’s homeland, Where each throbbing care shall cease, And our longings and our yearnings, Like a wave, be hushed to peace. Refrain

• [Heb 4:9] Friend After Friend Departs

  Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessèd clime Where life is not a breath, Nor life’s affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward and expire. There is a world above, Where parting is unknown, A whole eternity of love, Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines, Till all are passed away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in Heaven’s own light.

  How sweet the hour of closing day, When all is peaceful and serene, And when the sun, with cloudless ray, Sheds mellow luster o’er the scene! Such is the Christian’s parting hour; So peacefully he sinks to rest, When faith, endued from Heav’n with power, Sustains and cheers his languid breast. Mark but that radiance of his eye, That smile upon his wasted cheek; They tell us of his glory nigh, In language that no tongue can speak. A beam from Heav’n is sent to cheer The pilgrim on his gloomy road; And angels are attending near, To bear him to their bright abode. Who would not wish to die like those Whom God’s own Spirit deigns to bless? To sink into that soft repose, Then wake to perfect happiness?

Ye are Mine own, I will requite you; Though sin and Satan seek to smite you, Rejoice! Your home is with the blest.” There rest and peace in endless measure Shall be ours through eternity; No grief, no care, shall mar our pleasure, And untold bliss our lot shall be.
