Verse 1 ~
Holy Day, Jehovah's rest,
of creation's week the best;
Last of all the chosen seven,
Blessed of God, to man 'twas given.
Refrain ~
Welcome,
welcome,
welcome,
welcome;
Glad we hail it's presence blest,
'Tis the great Jehovah's rest.
Verse 2 ~
First His six days' work was done,
then the Sabbath was begun;
thus He blessed the seventh day,
and in resting we obey.
Verse 3 ~
Thousands have His plan reversed,
resting now upon the first;
Search the Book and you will know,
there’s no Scripture tells them so.
Verse 4 ~
All who speak the truth must say,
it was the Pope who changed the day;
In God’s word no change appears,
through the whole six thousand years.
Verse 5 ~
Thus I searched; and when I saw;
only one great Sabbath law;
then I hastened to obey -
plainy 'twas the only way.
