1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise!
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts his saints today;
Here may we sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day, amid the place
Where my dear Lord hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.
