Welcome, the Sabbath hour

Representative Text

1 Welcome, the Sabbath hour,
The holy and the blest!
With sweet, subduing power
It calms the soul to rest;
And hope and love spring up anew,
To cheer us on our journey through.

2 Our only care and aim
Throughout this hallowed day,
To glorify thy name,
And grateful homage pay;
Advance the glory of thy cause,
And vindicate thy righteous laws.

3 Descend, celestial Dove!
E'en while we wait and sing;
Come from the throne of love,
With healing on thy wing;
With ardent zeal each heart inspire,
And rebaptize with holy fire.
