FATHER OF MERCIES! IN THY WORD

Father of mercies! In Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be Thy Name adored
For these celestial lines.

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

O may these holy pages be
Our ever new delight!
And still new beauties may we see,
And still increasing light.

Divine Instructor! Gracious Lord!
Thou art for ever near;
Teach us to love Thy sacred Word
And view a Saviour there.
