Welcome, sweet day of rest,That saw the Lord arise!Welcome to this reviving breast,And these rejoicing eyes!
2
The King himself comes near,And feasts his saints to-day;Here we may sit and see him here,And love, and praise, and pray.
3
One day in such a place,Where thou, my God, art seen,Is sweeter than ten thousand daysOf pleasurable sin.
4
My willing soul would stayIn such a frame as this,And sit and sing herself awayTo everlasting bliss.
