Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1313 (1886) Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book First Line: Holy day, Jehovah's Rest Lyrics: 1 Holy day, Jehovah's Rest,
Of Creation's week the best;
Last of all the chosen sev'n,
Blessed of God, to man 'twas giv'n.
Chorus:
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome;
Glad we hail its presence blest,
'Tis the great Jehovah's rest.
2 First his six days' work was done,
Then the Sabbath hour begun;
Thus he blessed the seventh day,
Thus in resting we obey. [Chorus]
3 Thousands have his plan reversed,
Resting now upon the first;
Search the Book and you shall know
There's no scripture tells them so. [Chorus]
4 All who speak the truth must say
It was man who changed the day:
In God's word no change appears
Through the whole six thousand years! [Chorus]
5 Thus I searched; and when I saw
Only one great Sabbath law,
Then I hastened to obey,
Plainly, 'twas the only way. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Scriptures, Law, Sabbath Scripture: Genesis 2:3 Tune Title: JEHOVAH'S REST
