Father Of Mercies
Words by Anne Steele (alt), Music by Sully Bright, Kayleigh Reindl, Wendy Twit)

1. Father of mercies, in Thy word / What endless glory shines!
For ever be Thy name adored / For these celestial lines.

2. Here may the blind and hungry come / And light and food receive;
Here shall the humble guest have room /And taste and see and live.

Chorus: Father Of Mercies / Father Of Mercies
Teach us to love Thy sacred word (2x)

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

4. Here the Redeemer's welcome voice / Spreads heav'nly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys / Attend the blissful sound. (chorus)

5. O may these heav'nly pages be / Our ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may we see / And still increasing light.

6. Divine Instructor, gracious Lord! / Be Thou forever near;
Teach us love Thy sacred word / And view our Savior there!
