Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: Frequent the day of God returns Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns
To shed its quickening beams;
And yet how slow devotion burns!
How languid are its flames!
2 Accept our faint attempts to love,
Our frailties, Lord, forgive;
We would be like thy saints above,
And praise thee while we live.
3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend,
Where the assembly ne'er breaks up,
The Sabbath ne'er shall end:
4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air,
With heavenly lustre shine;
Before the throne of God appear,
And feast on Love divine:
5 Where we, in high seraphic strains,
Shall all our powers employ;
Delighted, range th' etherial plains,
And take our fill of joy.
