271
S. M.
Power of God’s word.
Behold, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And light and life convey.
2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just!
For ever sure thy promise, Lord,
And we securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
O, may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven.
Watts.
