The Sabbath is here.
It is sent us from Heaven.
Rest, rest,
toilsome life.
Be silent
all strife.
Let us stop
on our way,
And give
thanks, and pray
To Him who
all things has given.
The Sabbath is here.
To the fields let us go.
How fresh
and how fair,
In the still
morning air,
The bright
golden grain
Waves over
the plain!
It is God
who doth all this bestow.
The Sabbath is here.
On this blessed morn,
No tired
ox moans,
No creaking
wheel groans.
At rest
is the plough.
No noise
is heard now,
Save the
sound of the rustling corn.
The Sabbath is here.
Our seed we have sown,
In hope
and in faith.
The Father
He saith
Amen!
Be it so!
Behold the
corn grow!
Rejoicing
his goodness we’ll own.
The Sabbath is here.
His love we will sing,
Who sendeth
the rain
Upon the
young grain.
Full soon
all around
The sickle
will sound,
And home
the bright sheaves we will bring
The Sabbath is here.
In hope and in love,
We sow in
the dust,
While humbly
we trust,
Up yonder,
shall grow
The seed
which we sow,
And bloom
a bright garland above.
