¶Lyrics / Text

1. Father of mercies, in Thy word What endless glory shines; Forever be thy name adored For these celestial lines. 2. Here, mines of heavenly wealth disclose Their bright, unbounded store: The glittering gem no longer glows, And India boasts no more. 3. Here, may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find : Riches, above what earth can grant, And lasting as the mind. 4. Here, the fair tree of knowledge grows, And yields a free repast ; Sublimer sweets than nature knows, Invite the longing taste.
