LyicsFrequent the day of God returns,
To shed its quick'ning beams;
And yet how slow devotion burns,
How languid are its flames!
Accept our faint attempts to love,
Our frailties, Lord, forgive;
We would be like thy saints above,
And praise thee while we live.
Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend,
Where th' assembly ne'er breaks up,
The Sabbath ne'er shall end:
Where we shall breathe in heavenly air,
With heav'nly lustre shine;
Before the throne of God appear,
And feast on love divine:
Where we, in high seraphic strains,
Shall all our powers employ;
Delighted range the blissful plains,
And take our fill or joy.
