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. Topics: The Catechism; Daily Devotion Sunday Morning Languages: English
