Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 765 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:10 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Which Jesus dwells within,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

To-day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.

To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.

With messages of grace;
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.

The church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Blessings of the Sabbath

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairer still the woodlands,

Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast.

of triumphant gladness;
God has brought his Israel
into joy from sadness;
loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun has risen:
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Christian hearts,
which, with true affection,
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the grave's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal.
Here today amid your own
now you stand, bestowing
your own peace, which evermore
passes human knowing. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM

Rest and reign with him in heaven.

announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.

make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty Guest may come.

our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch out your hand, to heal our sore,
and make us rise to fall no more;
once more upon your people shine,
and fill the world with love divine.

whose advent has our freedom won,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry; Christian Year Lent; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW (CRASSELIUS)
