Welcome, welcome, day of rest
1
Welcome, welcome, day of rest,To the world in kindness given;Welcome to this humble breast,As the beaming light from heaven.
2
Day of calm and sweet repose,Gently now thy moments run;Balm to soothe our cares and woes,Till our labor here is done.
3
Holy day that most we prize,Day of solemn praise and prayer,Day to make the simple wise,O, how great thy blessings are!
4
Welcome, welcome, day of rest,With thy influence all divine;May thy hallowed hours be blessedTo this waiting heart of mine.
