1. Welcome, returning day of rest, Welcome to souls by sin oppressed, Welcome to this re-viv-ing breast, Sweet Sabbath-day!
2. U-nit-ed hymns of prayer and praise, To Him whose love still guides our ways, We hasten at thy dawn to raise, Sweet Sabbath-day!
3. O, may we feel that Saviour near, Whose presence dries the mourner's tear, And makes thy hallow'd hours more dear, Sweet Sabbath-day!
4. May thy de-lightful sea-son prove, How much we owe a Saviour's love; And fit us for the joys above, Sweet Sab-bath - day!

1. Lord, we come before Thee now; At Thy feet we humbly bow; O, do not our suit disdain:Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain ? 2. Lord, on Thee our souls depend; In compassion now descend; Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace; Tune our lips to sing Thy praise. 3. In Thine own ap-point-ed way, Now we seek Thee, here we stay; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing Thou bestow. 4. Send some message from Thy word That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spir-it now im-part Full sal - va- tion to each heart.
