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.
