LyicsFREQUENT the day of God returns
To shed its quickening beams;
And yet how slow devotion burns!
How languid are its flames!
Quicken our faint desires to love;
Our follies, Lord, forgive,
O may thy word our souls improve,
And teach us how to live.
Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend
Where the assembly ne'er breaks up,
And praise never end.
Where we shall breathe in heavenly air--
With heavenly lustre shine--
Before the throne of God appear,
And feast on love divine.
There shall we join, and never tire,
To sing immortal lays,
And with the bright seraphic choir
Sound our Immanuel's praise.
