Welcome the Quiet Sabbath Dawn

Welcome the qui­et Sab­bath dawn

Lighting the mount­ain and the lawn

Telling how Je­sus burst the grave

Rising in pow­er to save.

Welcome the ring­ing Sab­bath bell

Sounding along thro’ grove and dell

Summoning to the house of pray­er;

Come

for the Lord is there.

Welcome

sweet day

oft waft­ed by

Freighted with bless­ings from on high;

Emblem of end­less rest in Heav­en

Through the Re­deem­er giv­en.

Welcome the school where child­ren meet

Sitting around their teach­ers’ feet

Hearing the sto­ry ev­er new

Jesus has died for you.

Welcome the courts of Zi­on

where

Christians con­vene for praise and pray­er;

Welcome the Gos­pel from ab­ove

Given to us in love.

Welcome God’s grace with­in my heart

Never from Je­sus may I part

Never for­get His love to me

Coming so rich

so free.

Welcome the crown laid up in store

After my con­flict shall be o’er

Welcome a home with Christ ab­ove

Bright with eter­nal love.
