Lyics

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.



Now may the King descend,

And fill His throne 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.
