Hymn 109
Father of mercies, in Thy Word
- Father of mercies, in Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be Thy narne adored
For these celestial lines.
- Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches hnd;
Riches, above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
- Here the fair tree of knowledge grows.
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows
Invite the longing taste.
- Here the Redeemer's welconie voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
- Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
Be Thou for ever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And view my Saviour there.
Christly Living
