How oft the day of God returns

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a308 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our sins, O 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, Thy worship ne'er shall end; 4 When we shall with the ransomed throng, The Savior's praise proclaim, And give in an eternal song All glory to His name.
