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 To keep the door than shine in courts

Now may the King descend And fill His throen with grace The scepter, Lord, extend While saints address Thy face Let sinners feel Thy quick'ning word And learn to know and fear the Lord And learn to know and fear the Lord
