Behold the morning sun

Oh, may I never read in vain, But find the path to heav'n. 5 While with our heart and tongue We spread thy praise abroad, Accept the worship and the song, Our Father and our God!

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Savior, let thy love persue The glorious work it has begun, Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

How high thy wonders rise!

The triumph of his groans!] 7 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 8 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. Scripture: Isaiah 44:23 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems

Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Angels and men, resign your claim, To pity, mercy, love and grace; These glories crown Jehovah's name, With an incomparable blaze. Who is a pardoning God like thee?

And kind acceptance at thy throne. 5 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close; With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to thy name.
