Lyics

BEHOLD the morning sun,

Begins his glorious way;

His beams through all the nations run,

And life and light convey.



But where the gospel comes,

It spreads diviner light,

It rouses sinners from their tombs,

And gives the blind their sight.



Our gracious God, how plain

Are thy directions given!

Oh! may we never read in vain,

But find the path to heaven.
