Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #106 (1890) First Line: Father of mercies! in thy word Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! in thy word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be thy name adored,
For these celestial lines.
2 Here, the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows
Invite the longing taste.
3 Here, the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
4 Oh, may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
5 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord!
Be thou for ever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there. Topics: The Scriptures; Bible; Bible Languages: English Tune Title: CHIMES
