1 Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath, Happy day of joy and light; In our Sabbath home we gather, Hearts are gay, and faces bright.
Chorus: Welcome, welcome, day of gladness, When we meet to praise and pray; Earth rejoices, happy voices Greet the holy Sabbath day.
2 Chiming bells, repeat the message, Christ is in his house today; Come and meet him, come and meet him, Hear what Jesus has to say. [Chorus]
3 Sing of Christ, our great Redeemer, For today he left the dead; Jesus lives and loves forever, He is risen, as he said. [Chorus]
4 Gentle Jesus, bend to listen, Make us like thee, pure and mild; In thy love and tender mercy, Hear and bless each waiting child.
