SABBATH 5 stanzas with Refrain |
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome;
Glad we hail its presence blest, 'Tis the great Jehovah's rest.
Holy day, Jehovah's rest,
Of creation's week the best; Last of all the chosen seven, Blessed of God, to man 'twas given.
First His six days' work was done,
Then the Sabbath was begun; Thus He blessed the seventh day, Thus in resting we obey.
Thousands have His plan reversed,
Restiug now upon the first; Search the Book and you shall know There's no scripture tells them so.
All who speak the truth must say
It was man who changed the day; In God's word no change appears Through the whole six thousand years!
Thus I searched; and when I saw
Only one great Sabbath law, Then I hastened to obey- Plainly, 'twas the only way. 5 stanzas with Refrain Copyright permission not yet secured.
