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.
