     marker 99|  |  |  |  | Welcome, sweet day of rest
 That saw the Lord arise;
 Welcome sweet day which God hath blessed
 With all thy sacred joys.
 
 
 The Lord himself comes near,
 To meet his saints to-day;
 And we by faith may meet him here,
 May love, and praise, and pray.
 
 
 One day within the place
 Where he by faith is seen,
 Is better than ten thousand days
 Of vanity and sin.
 
 
 Oh, may we day by day,
 The joy of faith possess;
 And then exulting soar away,
 To everlasting bliss.
