Father of mercies, in Thy Word  What endless glory shines!

Forever be Thy Name adorned  For these celestial lines.

Oh, may these heavenly pages  be my ever dear delight,

And still new beauties may I see,  And still increasing light.

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord  Be Thou forever near;

Teach me to love Thy sacred Word  And find my Saviour there. 

Amen.
