280. S. M. Watts.
Power of the Gospel.
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 we securely trust.
4My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
O, may we never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven.
