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