Hallelujah Sabbath Morning!German Hymnody Played by Rev.Winfred L.Nartey-Graham

Описание: The hymn “Hallelujah, Sabbath Morning!” comes from the rich heritage of German hymnody, a tradition deeply rooted in the early Lutheran Reformation. German hymns were known for their theological depth, melodic strength, and heartfelt devotion — qualities that have inspired Christian worship for centuries.

This particular hymn celebrates the Sabbath morning as a time of renewal, worship, and joy before the Lord. Its lyrics express gratitude for rest, peace, and the opportunity to gather in God’s presence after the week’s labors. The uplifting tone and structure reflect the early church’s reverence for the Lord’s Day as both holy and joyful.

As played by Rev. Winfred L. Nartey-Graham, the hymn is brought to life with reverent organ tones, capturing the serenity and spiritual beauty of a sacred Sabbath morning, inviting all believers to lift their hearts in thanksgiving and praise.

Lyrics 🎶

1. HALLELUJAH! Sabbath morning,
Day of gladness, time of rest!
Free of sorrow, free of mourning,
Let us worship and be blessed.
May this day refresh our soul
When we all God's name extol.

2. May we leave our earthly business
Concentrate on God alone!
May he take away our blindness,
Till we see him on the throne!
In his presence rest our mind
Till his perfect peace we find.

3. In the fellowship of others
Let us worship in God's house,
Where his spirit sweetly gathers
Those who openly expose
All their being to the Lord,
And he feeds them with his word.

4. Bless the preaching of your servant;
Put your word upon his tongue.
By your grace renew your covenant
As we praise you with our song,
As your message now we hear
And we offer you our prayer.

5. ⁠Keep us till the day is over
In your presence and your peace.
May the weary strength recover;
Let our faith and hope increase,
Till in your eternal rest
We may be for ever blessed.
