- The * Gospel / Behold the morning sun begins his glorious way / His beams through all the nations run and life and light convey / But where the gospel comes it spreads diviner light / It calls dead sinners from their tombs and gives the / blind their sight / My gracious god how plain are thy directions given / O! may I never read in vain but find the path to heaven / Mary Ann Lees / 1831
