HYMN 86. C. M

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
