Poem Words (four verses)

Father of mercies, in your Word
What endless glory shines!
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.

Oh, may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see
And still increasing light.

Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
May you be always near;
Teach me to love your sacred Word
And view my Savior there.
