Welcome, day of sweet repose!
Blessed
be thy sacred hours!
We
would trust the One who knows
All
our weak and failing powers.
2
Welcome,
day in Eden born!
Holy
rest for sinless man!
Like
the dawning of fair morn
Come
thy hours to us again.
3
Welcome,
day blessed by our Lord!
Toil
shall cease and anxious care
Day
commanded by His word,
Day
for song and praise and prayer.
4
Welcome,
day our Savior kept!
Keeping,
wrought our righteousness,
Day
God bids us ne’er forget,
Day
of days His name to bless.
