391   Welcome Welcome Day of Rest




[1]
Welcome welcome day of rest
To the world in kindness given;
Welcome to this humble breast
As the beaming light from heaven.

[2]
Day of calm and sweet repose
Gently now thy moments run;
Balm to soothe our cares and woes
Till our labor here is done.

[3]
Holy day that most we prize
Day of solemn praise and prayer
Day to make the simple wise
O how great thy blessings are!

[4]
Welcome welcome day of rest
With thy influence all divine;
May thy hallowed hours be blessed
To this waiting heart of mine.
