The Lord's Day

HAPPY IS SABBATH DAY FOR ME

THE LORD’S DAY

1. Happy is sabbath day for me,

And all its bells and its sermon,

When deep in sorrow I am found,

They changed my sadness into joy.

2. Happy also are all the hours,

Which are spent in the house of God,

To learn the lessons of prayers,

To receive manna of Thy word.

3. Happy are the answers "Amen",

That filled everywhere in the house,

Intermittently it soundeth,

And pass homeward bound to the Lord.

4. If world’s care should cause me delay,

And its six days great commitments,

O Lord I pray Thee break the chain,

And set my soul free to praise Thee.

Amen.
