Father of Mercies

 

1.

Father of mercies, day by day

My love to Thee grows more and more;

Thy gifts are strewn upon my way

Like sands upon the great seashore,

Like sands upon the great seashore.

2.

Father of mercies, God of love,

Whose gentle gifts all creatures share,

The rolling seasons as they move

Proclaim to all Thy constant care,

Proclaim to all Thy constant care.

3.

Father of mercies, may our hearts

Ne’er overlook Thy bounteous care,

But what our Father’s hand imparts

Still own in grateful praise and prayer,

Still own in grateful praise and prayer.

 

Frederick W. Faber (1849), Alice Flowerdew (1803)
