Hark, hark the song, glid­ing along,
Borne on the sum­mer breeze, far, far away;
Dear Sab­bath home, once more we come,
Hailing with glad de­light this hap­py day;
Eyes beam­ing bright­ly, hearts bound­ing light­ly,
Now we sing our mer­ry, mer­ry lay.

Refrain

Dear Sab­bath home, once more we come,
Hailing with glad de­light this hap­py day.

Green shady bo­wers, sweet blush­ing flow­ers,
Come with the sum­mer time, bloom­ing anew;
Morn’s gen­tle ray, gold­en and gay,
Shines on the li­ly-bells spark­ling with dew;
Beauty is call­ing, mu­sic is fall­ing,
Now again earth wakes her joy­ful lay.

Refrain

Hark, hark the song, float­ing along,
Borne to the sun­ny land fade­less and fair;
Savior and King, glad­ly we bring
Praise for Thy pre­cious love, Thy ten­der care;
Gathered be­fore Thee, young hearts ad­ore Thee,
Savior, hear, O hear our hap­py lay.

Refrain
