Welcome, the Sabbath Hour

1. Welcome, the Sabbath hour,
    The holy and the blest!
With sweet, subduing pow’r,
    It calms the soul to rest;
And hope and love spring up anew,
    To cheer us on our journey through.

2. Our only care and aim
    Throughout this hallow’d day,
To glorify Your name,
    And grateful honors pay;
Advance the glory of Your cause,
    And vindicate Your righteous laws.

3. Descend, Celestial Dove!
    E’en while we wait and sing!
Come from the throne of love,
    With healing on Your wing!
With ardent zeal each heart inspire,
    Your saints baptize with holy fire.
