Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #227 (1886) Lyrics: 1 With joy we hail the sacred day
Which God has called his own;
With joy the summons we obey,
To worship at his throne,
To worship at his throne.
2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
Where willing votaries throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer,
And pour the choral song.
3 Spirit of grace, O deign to dwell
Within thy church below;
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.
4 Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite
To spread with grateful zeal around,
Her clear and shining light.
5 Then hail! thou sacred, blessed day,
The best of all the seven,
When hearts unite their vows to pay
Of gratitude to heaven. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: HERBERT
