The holy Day of Rest

Author: William Browne Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service First Line: Welcome, sacred day of rest! Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sacred day of rest! Sweet repose from worldly care; Day above all days the best, When our souls for heaven prepare; Day, when our Redeemer rose, Victor o'er the hosts of hell: Thus he vanquished all our foes; Let our lips his glory tell. 2 Gracious Lord! we love this day, When we hear thy holy word; When we sing thy praise, and pray, Earth can no such joys afford: But a better rest remains, Heavenly Sabbaths, happier days, Rest from sin, and rest from pains, Endless joys, and endless praise.
