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

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

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