Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #21 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: With joy we hail the sacred day Lyrics: 1 With joy we hail the sacred day
Which God hath called his own;
With joy the summons we obey
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! oh, 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. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 122:1 Languages: English Tune Title: OAKSVILLE
