Welcome Delightful Morn Song Lyrics

John Dobell, Friedrich Schneider

Welcome, Delightful Morn

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 of grace;

Thy scepter, Lord, extend,

While saints address thy face;

Let sinners feel thy quick'ning Word,

And learn to know and fear the Lord.

Descend, celestial Dove,

Will all thy quick'ning pow'rs;

Disclose a Saviour's love,

And bless these sacred hours;

Then shall my soul new life obtain,

Nor Sabbaths e'er be spent in vain.
