|
<p>Father of mercies, in Thy Word<br>
|
|
What endless glory shines!<br>
|
|
Forever be Thy Name adored<br>
|
|
For these celestial lines.</p>
|
|
<p>Here may the wretched sons of want<br>
|
|
Exhaustless riches find;<br>
|
|
Riches above what earth can grant,<br>
|
|
And lasting as the mind.</p>
|
|
<p>Here the fair tree of knowledge grows<br>
|
|
And yields a free repast;<br>
|
|
And richer fruits than nature shows<br>
|
|
Invite the longing taste.</p>
|
|
<p>Amidst these gloomy wilds below,<br>
|
|
When dark and sad we stray,<br>
|
|
Here beams of heaven relieve our woe,<br>
|
|
And guide to endless day.</p>
|
|
<p>Here springs of consolation rise<br>
|
|
To cheer the fainting mind,<br>
|
|
And thirsty souls receive supplies,<br>
|
|
And sweet refreshment find.</p>
|
|
<p>Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice<br>
|
|
Spreads heavenly peace around<br>
|
|
And life and everlasting joys<br>
|
|
Attend the blissful sound.</p>
|
|
<p>Oh, may these hallowed pages be<br>
|
|
Our joy by day and night,<br>
|
|
And still new beauties may we see,<br>
|
|
And still increasing light.</p>
|
|
<p>Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,<br>
|
|
O grant our fervent prayer,<br>
|
|
Teach us to love Thy sacred Word,<br>
|
|
And view the Savior there.</p>
