Father Of Mercies! In Thy Word
What Endless Glory Shines!
For Ever Be Thine Name Adored
For These Celestial Lines!
Here May The Wretched Sons Of Want
Exhaustless Riches Find;
Riches Above What Earth Can Grant,
And Lasting As The Mind.
Here The Fair Tree Of Knowledge Grows,
And Yields A Rich Repast:
Sublimer Sweets Than Nature Knows
Invite The Longing Taste.
Here Springs Of Consolation Rise
To Cheer The Fainting Mind,
And Thirsty Souls Receive Supplies,
And Sweet Refreshment Find.
Here The Redeemer’s Welcome Voice,
Spreads Heavenly Peace Around;
And Life And Everlasting Joys
Attend The Blissful Sound.
O May These Heavenly Pages Be
My Ever Dear Delight;
And Still New Beauties May I See,
And Still Increasing Light.
Divine Instructor! Gracious Lord,
Be Thou For Ever Near;
Teach Me To Love Thy Sacred Word,
And View My Saviour There!
