465 ~ Welcome, Delightful Morn
1
Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest! I hail thy kind return; Lord, make these moments blest; From the low plane of mortal toys I soar to reach immortal joys, I soar to reach immortal joys.
2
Now may the King descend, And fill His throne with grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face; Let sinners feel Thy quickening word, And learn to know and fear the Lord, And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3
Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless the sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain.
