Father of Mercies, in Thy Word

What endless glory shines!

Forever 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.

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 forever near;

Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,

And view my Saviour there.
