Author: Dr. Eli Corwin Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Welcome the day! arise and pay Lyrics: 1 Welcome the day! arise and pay
Thy tribute to the Lord.
Sing to his praise, in grateful lays,
And feast upon his word.
2 Welcome the light that scatters night,
Darkness and doubt dispels;
Our ears shall greet the music sweet,
Of solemn Sabbath bells.
3 Welcome the rest among the blest,
The fainting spirit cries:
Oh, when shall we the city see
That's built above the skies?
4 If now so dear the Sabbaths here,
What must they be above?
Oh, that were joy without alloy,
An ecstasy of love. Used With Tune: SABBATH
Sabbath
