CAC GHB 461 FATHER OF MERCY IN THY WORD

461—Father of mercies in Thy word Hymn

Father of mercies in Thy word

What endless glory shines!

For ever be Thy name adored

For these celestial lines

Here the springs of consolation rise

To cheer the fainting mind

And thirst souls receive supplies

And sweet refreshment find

Here the Redeemers welcome voice

Spreads heavenly peace around

And life and everlasting joys

Attend the blissful sound

Oh may these heav’nly pages be

My ever dear delight

And still new beauties may I see

And still increasing light

Divine Instructor, gracious God

Be Thou for ever near

Teach me to love Thy sacred word

And view my Saviour there
