LyicsFATHER of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.
Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find-
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
Here springs of consolation rise
To cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.
O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
