Hymn 408 – FATHER of mercies, in Thy word | C&S English Hymnary

1. FATHER of mercies, in Thy word What endless glory shines! For ever be Thy name adored For these celestial lines. 2. Here springs of consolation rise To cheer the fainting mind And thristy souls receive supplies, And sweet refreshment find. 3. Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice Spread heavenly peace around And life and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 4. Oh may these heav'nly pages be My ever dear delight And still new beautitudes may Lord, Daily my light increase. 5. Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, Be Thou for ever near: Teach me to love Thy sacred word, And view my Saviour there AMEN
