1
Don’t forget the Sabbath,
The Lord our God hath blest,
Of all the week the brightest,
Of all the week the best;
It brings repose from labor,
It tells of joy divine,
Its beam of light descending,
With heavenly beauty shine.
Refrain:
Welcome, welcome,
Ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day,
Welcome, welcome,
Ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day.
2
Keep the Sabbath holy,
And worship Him today,
Who said to His desciple,
“I am the living way;”
And if we meekly follow
our Savior here below,
He’ll give us of the fountain
Whose streams eternal flow.
3
Day of sacred pleasure!
It golden hours we’ll spend
In thankful hymns to Jesus,
The children’s dear Friend;
O gentle loving, Savior,
How good and kind Thou art,
How precious is Thy promise
To dwell in every heart!
(SDA Hymn 388)
