LyicsTHE sabbath bell, so full and swelling,
Whose rich vibrations greet the ear,
To me in solemn note, seems telling,
Of faith, of hope, of heaven near;
My heart with holy joy is bounding,
From earth my thoughts are on the wing,
Whene'er the welcome call is sounding,
That bids me join the choir and sing.
And while I hear the organ pealing
And raptured voices shouting praise,
While round the holy altar kneeling,
The tranquil eye of prayer I raise,
Sweet dews of heaven seem o'er me falling,
Subduing all my soul to love;
I seem to hear some seraph calling,
To bid me join the choir above.
