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, I soar to reach immortal joys. Now may the King descend, And fill His throne with grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face: Let sinners feel Thy quickening Word, And learn to know and fear the Lord, And learn to know and fear the Lord. Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Savior’s love, And bless the sacred hours: Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain, Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain. *** Words: By “Hayward,” in John Dobell’s A New Selection, 1806. Music: Das Lieben Bringt Groß Freud, Friedrich Silcher, 1827, from a Swabian folk tune; arranged by Lowell Mason in his Carmina Sacra, second edition, 1841.
