Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGGH I| Oh holy Sabbath bells | A |
| Ye have a pleasant voice | B |
| Through all the land your music swells | A |
| And man with one commandment tells | A |
| To rest and to rejoice | B |
| - | |
| As birds rejoice to flee | C |
| From dark and stormy skies | D |
| To brighter lands beyond the sea | C |
| Where skies are calm and wings are free | C |
| To wander and to rise | D |
| - | |
| As thirsty travellers sing | E |
| Through desert paths that pass | F |
| To hear the welcome waters spring | E |
| And see beyond the spray they fling | E |
| Tall trees and waving grass | F |
| - | |
| So we rejoice to know | G |
| Your melody begun | H |
| For when our paths are parched below | G |
| Ye tell us where green pastures glow | G |
| And living waters run | H |
