-Welcome, sweet day of rest,
-That saw the Lord arise;
-Welcome to this reviving breast,
-And these rejoicing eyes!
-The King himself comes near,
-And feasts his saints today;
-Here we may sit, and see him here,
-And love, and praise, and pray.
-One day amidst the place
-Where my dear God hath been,
-Is sweeter than ten thousand days
-Of pleasurable sin.
-My willing soul would stay
-In such a frame as this,
-And sit, and sing herself away
-To everlasting bliss.}}
