Author: William Browne Hymnal: Laudes Domini #55 (1888) 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. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Genesis 2:3 Languages: English Tune Title: SABBATH
