388   Don t Forget the Sabbath




[1]
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.

[C]
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.

[2]
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.

[C]
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.

[3]
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!

[C]
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.
Welcome welcome ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day.
