388. Don’t Forget the Sabbath

E                             B                 A  E
Don’t forget the Sabbath, The Lord our God hath blest,
E                                 B       F#       B
Of all the week the brightest, Of all the week the best;
B                     E         B               E
It brings repose from labor, It tells of joy di-vine,
E            B7       C#m   A         E        B      E
Its beams of light de-scend-ing, With heav’nly beauty shine.
E        A7       C#m  A        E       B       A  E
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome, Blessèd Sabbath day.
E        A7       C#m  A        E       B7      E
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!
