English Lyrics
Verse 1
Welcome, day of sweet repose! Blessed be thy sacred hours! We would trust the One who knows All our weak and failing powers.
Verse 2
Welcome, day in Eden born! Holy rest for sinless man! Like the dawning of fair morn Come thy hours to us again.
Verse 3
Welcome, day blessed by our Lord! Toil shall cease and anxious care Day commanded by His word, Day for song and praise and prayer.
Verse 4
Welcome, day our Savior kept! Keeping, wrought our righteousness, Day God bids us ne'er forget, Day of days His name to bless.
