Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #313 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 in such a place,
Where Thou, my God, art seen,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.
AMEN. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: LISBON
