Welcome, welcome, ever welcome Blessed Sabbath day Welcome, welcome, ever welcome Blessed Sabbath day Don't forget the Sabbath, the Lord our God hath blest Of all the week the brightest, of all the week the best It brings repose from labor, it tells of joy divine Its beams of light descending, with heavenly beauty shine Keep the Sabbath holy, and worship Him today Who said to His disciples, "I am the living way;" And if we meekly follow our Savior here below He'll give us of the fountain whose streams eternal flow Day of sacred pleasure! Its golden hours we'll spend In thankful hymns to Jesus, the children's dearest Friend O gentle loving, Savior, how good and kind Thou art How precious is Thy promise to dwell in every heart! Welcome, welcome, ever welcome Blessed Sabbath day Welcome, welcome, ever welcome Blessed Sabbath day
