Lyics

WELCOME delightful morn,

Thou day of sacred rest:

We hail thy kind return;

Lord make these moments blest.

From low delights and mortal toys,

We'd soar to reach immortal joys.



Now may the king descend,

And fill our hearts with grace;

Thy sceptre, Lord, extend,

While saints address thy face:

May sinners feel thy quickening word,

And learn to know and fear the Lord.



Supply thy Spirit, Lord,

With all his gracious powers,

To those who know thy love,

And bless these sacred hours:

Then shall our souls revive again,

Nor worship be renewed in vain.
