Music by John F. Anderson, 1924 (1893-1974)

Holy Sabbath day of rest,

By our Master richly blest,

God created and divine,

Set aside for holy time.

REFRAIN

Yes, the holy Sabbath rest,

By our God divinely blest,

It to us a sign shall be

Throughout all eternity

Seek not pleasures of this earth,

With its folly, noise and mirth,

There are better things in store,

Over on the other shore

REFRAIN

Yes, the holy Sabbath rest,

By our God divinely blest,

It to us a sign shall be

Throughout all eternity

As the Sabbath draweth on,

Friday eve at set of sun,

Christian household then should meet,

Siing and pray at Jesus feet,

REFRAIN

Yes, the holy Sabbath rest,

By our God divinely blest,

It to us a sign shall be

Throughout all eternity

Asking Him for saving grace,

Also vict'ry in the race,

And to help us by His pow'r,

To keep holy every hour

REFRAIN

Yes, the holy Sabbath rest,

By our God divinely blest,

It to us a sign shall be

Throughout all eternity
