Father of Mercies, in Thy Word

Verse 1

Father of mercies, in Thy word
What endless glory shines;
For ever be Thy Name adored
For these celestial lines.

Verse 2

Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find,
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.

Verse 3

Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.

Verse 4

O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.

Verse 5

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Be Thou forever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there.
