Welcome, Delightful Morn

Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest! I hail thy kind return; Lord, make these moments blest: From the low train of mortal toys, I soar to reach immortal joys, I soar to reach immortal joys.

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.

Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Savior'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.
