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
To spend one sacred day
Where God and saints abide
Affords diviner joy
Than thousand days beside
I love it more where God resorts
To keep the door than shine in courts
Than keep the door than shine in courts
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

Alternate verse
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
