GRH 239 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.

(2)
Here springs of consolation rise
To cheer the fainting mind;
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.

(3)
Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice
Spreads heav’nly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.

(4)
O may these heav’nly 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.
