Holy Day, Jehovah's Rest

1Holy day,
Jehovah's rest,
Of creation's week the best;
Last of all the chosen seven,
Blessed of God, to man 'twas given.

RefrainWelcome, welcome, welcome, welcome;
Glad we hail its presence blest, 'Tis the great Jehovah's rest.

2First His six days' work was done,
Then the Sabbath was begun;
Thus He blessed the seventh day,
Thus in resting we obey.

3Thousands have His plan reversed,
Resting now upon the first;
Search the Book and you shall know There's no scripture tells them so.

4All 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!

5Thus I searched; and when I saw Only one great Sabbath law,
Then I hastened to obey— Plainly, 'twas the only way.
