| Lyrics |
1 Sabbath bells are pealing,
Thoughts of hallowed rest revealing;
Hear their music stealing,
On the quiet air;
Oh! the welcome, welcome sound,
Spreading peace and joy around,
Hear them say,
Haste away
To the house of prayer.
2 Tuneful strains are ringing,
Happy voices sweet are singing,
Praise and glory bringing
To our God above;
Heav'nly Father, dearest Friend,
While before thy throne we bend,
Grateful lays We would raise,
For thy wond'rous love.
3 Through the Holy Spirit,
Through the Saviour's precious merit,
May we all inherit
Joy with Thee above;
There, among the pure and blest,
May we find eternal rest:
Sweetly there,
Free from care--
Sing redeeming love.
