(98) Rejoicing in the Sabbath.

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.

2 Now may the King descend,

And fill his throne of grace;

Thy scepter, Lord, extend,

While saints address thy face!

Let sinners feel thy quickening word,

And learn to know and fear the Lord.

3 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 indulged in vain.

Hayward, 1806.
