Lyics

FATHER 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 the Redeemer's welcome voice,
Spreads heavenly peace around:
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
