Welcome, Welcome

1Welcome, welcome, day of rest,
To the world in kindness giv'n;
Welcome to this humble breast,
As the beaming light from heav'n.

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

3Holy day that most we prize,
Day of solemn praise and pray'r,
Day to make the simple wise,
O, how great thy blessings are!
