Text:Father of mercies! in Thy word

360. 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.

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

4 O 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.
