LyicsWith joy we hail the sacred day
Which God has called his own:
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at his throne.
Thy tabernacles, Lord, how fair!
Where willing votaries throng,
To breathe the humble fervant prayer -
And pour the choral song.
Saviour of men, O deign to dwell
Within thy church below;
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.
Let peace within her walls be found -
Let all her sons unite
To spread with grateful zeal around
Her clear and shining light.
Great God we hail the sacred day
Which thou has called thine own:
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at thy throne.
