Father of mercies, in Thy word

1.

Father of mercies, in Thy word

What endless glory shines

For ever be thy name adored

For these celestial lines

2.

Here springs of consolation rise

To cheer the fainting mind

And thirsty souls receive supplies

And sweet refreshment find

3.

Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice

Spreads heavenly peace around

And life and everlasting joys

Attend the blissful sound.

4.

Oh may these heav’nly pages be

My ever dear delight

And still new beauties may I see

And still increasing light.

5.

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord

Be Thou for ever near

Teach me to love Thy sacred word

And view my saviour there.
