Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Welcome, welcome, day of rest, To the world in kindness giv’n; Welcome to the humble breast, As the beaming light from Heav’n. 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 we most 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. Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN

The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints today; Here we may sit, and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray. 3. One day amid the place, Where my dear God hath been, Is sweeter than ten thousand days Of pleasurable sin. 4. My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this, And sit and sing herself away to everlasting bliss. Used With Tune: LISBON

Welcome, sacred day of rest!

Author: Anon. Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sacred day of rest! Sweet repose from worldly care, Day above all days the best, When our souls for heaven prepare. 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. 3 But a better rest remains, Heavenly Sabbaths, happier days, Rest from sin, and rest from pains, Endless joys, and endless praise.
