The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#113

113. Welcome, delightful morn!

1 Welcome, delightful morn!
Thou day of sacred rest;
I hail thy kind return;
Lord, make these moments blest.
From low delights and trifling toys
I soar to reach immortal joys,
I soar to reach immortal joys.

2 Now may the King descend,
And fill his throne with grace;
Thy sceptre, 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.

3 Descend, celestial Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Reveal a Saviour's love,
And bless these sacred hours;
Then shall my soul new life obtain,
Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain.
