What endless glory shines!
Forever be your name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here springs of consolation rise
To cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies
And sweet refreshment find.
3 Oh, may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see
And still increasing light.
4 Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
May you be always near;
Teach me to love your sacred Word
And view my Savior there. Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT
Father of Mercies, in Your Word
