The words
Verse 1. Behold! the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams thro’ all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
Verse 2. But, where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from the tombs
And gives the blind their sight.
Verse 3. How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just;
Forever sure thy promise, Lord!
And men securely trust.
Verse 4. My gracious God! how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh! may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven.
