Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #XXXIV (1786) First Line: Welcome, sweet day of rest Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
Which saw the Lord arise;
Welcome, to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here may we sit, and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Where heavenly glories shine
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
In all the joys of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit, and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss. Languages: English
