Sabbath Bells + 

Oh holy Sabbath bells, + 

Ye have a pleasant voice! + 

Through all the land your music swells, + 

And man with one commandment tells + 

To rest and to rejoice. + 

As birds rejoice to flee + 

From dark and stormy skies + 

To brighter lands beyond the sea + 

Where skies are calm, and wings are free + 

To wander and to rise; + 

As thirsty travellers sing, + 

Through desert paths that pass, + 

To hear the welcome waters spring, + 

And see, beyond the spray they fling + 

Tall trees and waving grass; + 

So we rejoice to know + 

Your melody begun; + 

For when our paths are parched below + 

Ye tell us where green pastures glow + 

And living waters run. + 
