Text Based On Isaiah Chapter 58 (KJV)
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day;
and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable;
and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure,
nor speaking thine own words:

SWEETLY DAWNS THE SABBATH MORNING
1.
Sweetly dawns the Sabbath morning,
on the world, so full of care;
Bidding man forget his labour,
calling to the house of prayer.
2.
’Tis the day whose rest and gladness
show what all my life should be;
Yielding all by faith to Jesus,
finding Jesus all in me.
3.
’Tis the day whose calm, so holy,
shadows forth the better rest,
Where the crownèd saints are singing,
with their Lord, supremely blest.
