388. Don’t Forget the Sabbath

D                             A                 G  D
Don’t forget the Sabbath, The Lord our God hath blest,
D                                 A       E        A
Of all the week the brightest, Of all the week the best;
A                     D         A               D
It brings repose from labor, It tells of joy di-vine,
D            A7       Bm    G         D        A      D
Its beams of light de-scend-ing, With heav’nly beauty shine.
D        G7       Bm   G        D       A       G  D
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome, Blessèd Sabbath day.
D        G7       Bm   G        D       A7      D
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome, Blessèd Sabbath day.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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 heavenly beauty shine.

[Refrain]
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day,
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome,
Blessed Sabbath day.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Verse 3]
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!
