Father of mercies, in Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around:
And life, and everlasting joys,
Attend the blissful sound.

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

Oh, may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
