Father of Mercies, in Thy Word (EN 4953)

EN 4953 Father of Mercies, in Thy Word

2Cor.1.3

Versi Version 1

1

Father of mercies, in Thy Word

What endless glory shines!

Forever 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 fair tree of knowledge grows

And yields a free repast;

And richer fruits than nature shows

Invite the longing taste.

4

Amidst these gloomy wilds below,

When dark and sad we stray,

Here beams of Heaven relieve our woe,

And guide to endless day.

5

Here springs of consolation rise

To cheer the fainting mind,

And thirsty souls receive supplies,

And sweet refreshment find.

6

Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice

Spreads heavenly peace around

And life and everlasting joys

Attend the blissful sound.

7

Oh, may these hallowed pages be

Our joy by day and night,

And still new beauties may we see,

And still increasing light.

8

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,

O grant our fervent prayer,

Teach us to love Thy sacred Word,

And view the Savior there.
