Sabbath Queen<\/h3>\n

The sun on the tree-tops\u200b no longer is seen,
\nCome,\u200b gather to welcome the Sabbath, our Queen.
\nBehol\u200bd her descendin\u200bg, the holy, the blest.
\nWith angels-a cohort of peace and of rest.
\nDraw nigh, O Queen, and here abide
\nDraw nigh, draw nigh, O Sabbath bride.
\nPeace\u200b also to you, Ye angels of peace!<\/p>\n

We’ve\u200b welcomed the Sabbath with song and with prayer;
\nAnd home we return, our heart’s gladness to share.
\nThe table is set and the candles are lit,
\nThe tiniest corner for Sabbath made fit.
\nO day of blessing,\u200b day of rest!
\nSweet\u200b day of peace be ever blest!
\nBring\u200b ye also peace, Ye angels of peace!<\/p>\n
