1 Father of mercies, in Thy word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be Thy name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here, may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find;
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
3 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
4 Oh, may these heavenly 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.
