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 to-day;
Here may we sit and see Him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
One day, within the place
Where Christ, my Lord, hath been
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
