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 O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And sti11 new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
4 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Be Thou forever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And view my Saviour there.
Amen.
