Sheet music
- 1Welcome, 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,I soar to reach (I soar to reach) immortal joys.
- 2To spend on sacred dayWhere God and saints abideAffords diviner joyThan thousand days beside;I love it more where God resorts,To keep the door than shine in courts,To keep the door (To keep the door) than shine in courts.
- 3Now may the King descendAnd fill His throne with grace;Thy scepter, Lord, extend,While saints address Thy face;Let sinners feel Thy quick’ning wordAnd learn to know and fear the Lord,And learn to know (And learn to know) and fear the Lord.
