Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #283a (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! in Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
3 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 forever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there.
Amen. Topics: The Holy Scriptures Languages: English Tune Title: [Father of mercies! in Thy Word]
