Of creation's week the best; Last of all the chosen seven, Blest of God, to man 'twas given. 2 First his six day's work was done, Then the Sabbath hour begun; Thus he blessed the seventh day, Thus in resting we obey. 3 While we praise our Maker's name, We his faithful promise claim; Meet with us, dear Lord, we pray, Thine are we, and thine this day. 4 Let thy Spirit on us shine, Help us keep thy law divine; Day by day so shall we be Shining lights, O Lord, for thee.

Chorus: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome; Glad we hail its presence blest, 'Tis the great Jehovah's rest. 2 First his six days' work was done, Then the Sabbath hour begun; Thus he blessed the seventh day, Thus in resting we obey. [Chorus] 3 Thousands have his plan reversed, Resting now upon the first; Search the Book and you shall know There's no scripture tells them so. [Chorus] 4 All who speak the truth must say It was man who changed the day: In God's word no change appears Through the whole six thousand years! [Chorus] 5 Thus I searched; and when I saw Only one great Sabbath law, Then I hastened to obey, Plainly, 'twas the only way.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Author of "Holy day! Jehovah's rest!" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
