1 Lo! the Sabbath morning breaking, breaking, Fills the heart with music, joy and gladness; Strains of pure devotion waking, waking, Let us join the chorus of praise to God. Chorus: While the cheerful bells are ringing, ringing, Chiming out their welcome loud and clear, Throngs of happy children singing, singing, Gather in the home they prize so dear. [Repeat stanza] 2 Gentle, loving Saviour, bending, bending, From a throne of mercy, grant thy blessing, While our grateful voices blending, blending, Swell the happy chorus of praise to Thee; 3 Where the golden harps are ringing, ringing, In the sunny vales of Eden fair, Where the pure in heart are singing, singing, Jesus may we dwell forever there.
