Text:	With joy we hail the sacred day
Tune:	BARTLETT
Composer:	Chester G. Allen

1 With joy we hail the sacred day,
Which God has call’d His own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at His throne.
Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
As here Thy servants throng
To breathe the humble, fervent pray’r,
And pour the grateful song.

2 Spirit of grace! O deign to dwell
Within Thy church below;
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.
Great God, we hail the sacred day,
Which Thou hast call’d Thine own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at Thy throne.
