1 Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines. MIM 102.4
2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find,
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind. MIM 102.5
3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste. MIM 103.1
4 Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys,
Attend the blissful sound. MIM 103.2
5 O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light! MIM 103.3
6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Be thou forever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Savior near. MIM 103.4
