Representative Text

1 Holy day, Jehovah’s rest,
Day which God Himself has blessed!
Sanctified its ev’ry hour,
Filled this day with heav’nly power!

Refrain:
Welcome, welcome,
Welcome, welcome;
Glad we hail its presence blest;
‘Tis the great Jehovah’s rest.

2 Thousands may forget God’s rest,
Hold a day He did not bless;
Holy child, would’st thou obey?
Rest upon His holy day! [Refrain]

3 Holy day, Jehovah’s rest,
Only day which God has blessed!
Keep His day—by grace we may,
‘Tis the only Christian way! [Refrain]
