391 ~ 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 blessed To this waiting heart of mine.
