- 1Welcome, 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.
- 2Now may the King descend,
- And fill His throne of grace;
- Thy scepter, Lord, extend,
- While saints address Thy face;
- Let sinners feel Thy quickening Word
- And learn to know and fear the Lord.
- 3Descend, O heavenly Dove,
- Will all Thy quickening powers,
- Disclose a Savior's love,
- And bless these sacred hours:
- Then shall my soul new life obtain,
- Nor Lord's Days e'er be spent in vain.
