Hymns for Second Advent Believers 115
SABBATH HYMNS
1BEHOLD a light appears,
The holy Sabbath day,
And magnified so clear,
That none may need to stray;
Though small at first, as sun beam's ray,
Its strength ascends to perfect day.
2Hebrews in Egypt's land
Must all receive a sign,
When forth from Pharaoh's hand
Deliverance was design'd;
A sign, a token, thus shall be,
Before the earth and heavens flee.
3The Sabbath is a sign,
A mark which all may see,
And sure will draw a line
When servants all are seal'd,
And while destruction's in the land,
This mark will guard the waiting band.
4Then wrath in vengeance comes,
The great and dreadful day!
God's voice in thunder tones,
Shakes heaven and earth and sea;
Ye living saints who faithful be,
No plague shall o'er come nigh to thee.
