- Lyrics
1. Father of mercies, in your Word
What endless glory shine!
Forever be your name adored
For these celestial lines.
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.
3. Here springs of consolation rise
To cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.
4. Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,
Please be forever near,
Teach me to love your sacred Word,
And view my Savior there.
