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.

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

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
