Father of mercies ! in Thy Word What endless glory shines ! For ever be Thy name adored For these celestial lines.
2. Here may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find ; Riches above what earth can grant, And lasting as the mind.
3. Here the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heavenly peace around ; And life and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound.
4. 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 for ever near ; Teach me to love Thy sacred Word, And view my Saviour there.
