Anne Steele (1760) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 19:8

Verse 1

Father of mercies, in your Word What endless glory shine! Forever be your name adored For these celestial lines.

Verse 2

Here may the lost and hungry come, And light and food receive; Here shall the lowest guest have room, And taste, and see, and live.

Verse 3

Here springs of consolation rise To cheer the fainting mind, And thirsty souls receive supplies, And sweet refreshment find.

Verse 4

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, Please be forever near, Teach me to love your sacred Word, And view my Savior there.
