The Sabbath School Pearl or the Sunday school Army singing Book ‎#9

9. Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath

1 Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Welcome, welcome, day of rest:
To the world in kindness given,
Welcome to this humble breast,
As the beaming light from heaven.
Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Welcome, welcome, day of rest.

2 Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Day of soft and sweet repose;
Gently now thy moments run,
As the peaceful streamlet flows,
Radiant with a summer's sun.
Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Day of soft and sweet repose.

3 Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Day of tidings from the skies;
Day of solemn praise and prayer;
Day to make the simple wise,
Oh, how great thy blessings are!
Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Day of tidings from the skies.

4 Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Welcome, welcome, day of rest;
With thy influence all divine,
May thy hallowed hours be blest
To this feeble heart of mine.
Welcome, welcome, holy Sabbath,
Welcome, welcome, day of rest.
