“O, GLORIOUS SABBATH SUN”

I

O, glorious Sabbath sun, thou art
A balm and blessing to my heart;
Dark sorrow flies, and in thy shine
Bursts o'er the world a flood divine.

II

So may the light beyond the skies
Illume and bless my inward eyes,
That each new day may bring to me
The splendor of eternity.
