Hymn 96

Welcome, welcome, day of rest

Verse 1
Welcome, welcome, day of rest,
To the world in kindness given;
Welcome to this humble breast,
As the beaming light from heaven.
Verse 2
Day of calm and sweet repose,
Gently now thy moments run;
Balm to sooth our cares and woes,
Till our labor here is done.
Verse 3
Holy day that most we prize,
Day of solemn praise and prayer;
Day to make the simple wise,
O, how great thy blessings are!
