Text:The Sabbath--Soon will set the Sabbath sun
Tune:[Soon will set the Sabbath sun]

10. The Sabbath--Soon will set the Sabbath sun

1 Soon will set the Sabbath sun,
Soon the sacred day be gone;
But a sweeter rest remains,
Where a glorious Saviour reigns.
Pleasant is the Sabbath bell,
Seeming much of joy to tell;
Kind our teachers seem today,
In the school we love to stay.

3 But a music, sweeter far,
Breathes where angel-spirits are;
Higher far than earthly strains,
Where the rest of God remains.

4 Yes:--that rest our own may be,
All the good shall Jesus see;
For the good a rest remains,
Where the glorious Saviour reigns.
