The solace of my careworn breast

How sweetly now they glide along!
How hallowed is the calm they yield!
Transporting is their rapturous song
And heavenly visions seem revealed
And heavenly visions seem revealed.

How hallowed is the calm they yield!
Transporting is their rapturous song
And heavenly visions seem revealed
And heavenly visions seem revealed.

O Jesus let me ever hail
Thy presence with the day of rest;
Then will Thy servant never fail
To deem Thy Sabbath doubly blest
To deem Thy Sabbath doubly blest.
