1 O what beauties adorn the bright Sabbath morn,
The best day of all the week,
And how gladly we start with a light happy heart,
As the house of the Lord we seek.
Humbly let us enter in,
Praying to be free from sin.
Pure without and pure within,
On this Sabbath day.

Chorus:
Let us keep, well keep this blessed Sabbath day,
This holy Sabbath day, This holy Sabbath day,
Let us keep, well keep this holy Sabbath day,
'Tis the best day of all the week.

2 Be it ever our care in that place of prayer,
Our spirits above to raise;
Let us try to drive out each vain worldly thought,
From God's holy courts of praise;
Let no folly there intrude,
Naught to mar our tranquil mood,
Naught but what is true and good,
On this Sabbath day. [Chorus]

3 And our joy is full when the dear Sabbath school
Throws open its friendly door;
For we're sure there to find the Saviour so kind,
And riches of sacred lore.
As our voices all we raise.
In sweet songs of love and praise
May we tread in wisdom's ways,
On this Sabbath day. [Chorus]

4 And when we go back to our week-day track,
Our lessons, our work, and play;
Let us hold ever dear the counsels we hear,
On the holy Sabbath day,
And remember that God's eye
Ever watches from on high,
And each day he is as nigh
As the Sabbath day. [Chorus]
