The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1219

1219. Don't Forget the Sabbath

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 beams of light descending,
With heav’nly beauty shine.

Refrain
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessèd Sabbath day,
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessèd Sabbath day.

2. Keep the Sabbath holy,
And worship Him today,
Who said to His disciples,
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. [Refrain]

3. Day of sacred pleasure!
Its golden hours we’ll spend
In thankful hymns to Jesus,
The children’s dearest friend;
O gentle, loving, Savior,
How good and kind Thou art,
How precious is Thy promise
To dwell in every heart! [Refrain]
