Lyics

Wel-come, de-light-ful morn,

Thou day of sa-cred rest;

I hail thy kind re-turn-

Lord, make these mo-ments blest;

Form the low train of mor-tal toys, 

I soar to reach im-mor-tal joys,

I soar to reach im-mor-tal joys.



Now may the King descend

And fill his throne with grace;

The scepter, Lord, extend,

While saints address thy face:

Let sinners feel thy quickening word,

And learn to know and fear the Lord.
