Welcome, delightful morn,

by John Dobell'sselection

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 465 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Saviour'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.
