5 WELCOMING THE SABBATH DAY. S.M. original: "S.M." stands for Short Meter
Hail, Sabbath day,
Sabbath day is beautiful:
The whole week keeps saying,
How long you have stayed!
2 The day our Christ
Rose from the dead:
The whole week keeps saying,
How long you have stayed!
3 The day of his rising
Just like Jesus:
The whole week keeps saying,
How long you have stayed!
4 You speak of the rest
Of the city of peace
And the blessing of the saints:
How long you have stayed!

SABBATH DAY. C.M.
When, my Savior,
Shall I see you in perfection
In the blessing of the Sabbath day
Without a veil between?
