LyicsBehold the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams thro' all the nations run,
And light and life convey.
But when the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
How perfect is thy word,
And all thy judgments just;
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
My Gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given;
O may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven.
