The Jewel ‎#6

6. We welcome this beautiful Sabbath of rest

1 We welcome this beautiful Sabbath of rest,
Our Father has made it, 'tis hallowed and blest;
In songs of devotion, thanksgiving and praise,
Our hearts and our voices together we'll raise

Chorus:
Let us worship our King, and be glad while we sing,
Let the deep hear the strain, and repeat it again,
Hallelujah! hallelujah! hallelujah! Amen.

2 Now joyful away to the temple of prayer,
The Lord will be with us, His children are there;
The light of His glory, the smile of his love,
Will beam like the sun from His kingdom above. [Chorus]

3 How happy the people whose God is the Lord,
Who walk in his counsel, and trust in His word;
And look for the promise the Saviour has given,
A robe and a crown for the faithful in heaven. [Chorus]

4 Sing on, O ye ransomed, now safe on the shore;
Sing on, you have anchored, your trials are o'er;
We'll follow your footsteps, we long to behold
The river of life and the city of gold. [Chorus]
