(170) Psalm 119.

Behold! the morning sun

Begins his glorious way;

His beams thro' all the nations run,

And life and light convey.

2 But, where the gospel comes,

It spreads diviner light;

It calls dead sinners from the tombs

And gives the blind their sight.

3 How perfect is thy word!

And all thy judgments just;

Forever sure thy promise, Lord!

And men securely trust.

4 My gracious God! how plain

Are thy directions given!

Oh! may I never read in vain,

But find the path to heaven.

Isaac Watts, 1719.
