LyicsWelcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise!
Welcome to this reviving breast
And these rejoicing eyes!
The King himself comes near
And feasts his saints today:
Here we may sit, and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
One day amid the place
Where Christ my Lord is seen
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasure and of sin.
My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
Till called to rise and soar away
To everlasting bliss.
