The Church Hymnal ‎#281

281. 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.

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

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

4 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord
Be Thou for ever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And view my Saviour there.
