SABBATH MORNING.
Over the forests clear and bright,
In glory comes the morning sun,
And sheds its radiant holy light—
A blessing rich on every one.
In glory comes the morning sun,
And sheds its radiant holy light—
A blessing rich on every one.
It is the Sabbath morning, and
Our hearts go out in love to Him,
Whose ever loving, guiding hand,
Leads us away from paths of sin.
Our hearts go out in love to Him,
Whose ever loving, guiding hand,
Leads us away from paths of sin.
Who sent His son into the world,
News of salvation to bring down.
If faithful to His flag unfurled,
Till death, thou shalt receive a crown.
News of salvation to bring down.
If faithful to His flag unfurled,
Till death, thou shalt receive a crown.
Oh, may the worship of our hearts,
Our truest, warmest, best endeavor,
Be to our Father given on earth—
And songs of praise in Heaven forever.
Our truest, warmest, best endeavor,
Be to our Father given on earth—
And songs of praise in Heaven forever.
August, 1883.
