Welcome, Sweet Day of Rest

 

VERSE 1

Welcome, sweet day of rest,

That saw the Lord arise;

Welcome to this reviving breast,

And these rejoicing eyes!

 

VERSE 2

The King Himself comes near,

And feasts His saints today;

Here we may sit, and see Him here,

And love, and praise, and pray.

 

VERSE 3

One day in such a place,

Where my dear God hath been,

Is sweeter than ten thousand days

Of pleasurable sin.

 

VERSE 4

My willing soul would stay

In such a frame as this,

And sit and sing herself away

To everlasting bliss.
