Father of Mercies
Author: Frederick W. Faber; Alice Flowerdew Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Father of mercies, day by day Lyrics: 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. Topics: Blessings; Christians Thanksgiving; God Mercy Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3 Used With Tune: ELEOS
Father of Mercies
Mother of Mercy
Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Mother of Mercy, day by day Lyrics: 1 Mother of mercy, day by day
My love of thee grows more and more;
Thy gifts are strewn up on my way,
Like sands upon the great seashore,
Like sands upon the great seashore.
2 Though poverty, and work, and woe,
The masters of my life may be;
In darkest hours, who does not know
That all is light with love of thee?
That all is light with love of thee.
3 Oh, gain me grace to love thee more:
Thy Son will give, if thou wilt plead!
And, Mother, when life's cares are o'er,
Oh! I shall love thee then indeed,
4 My Lord, when His three hours were run,
Bequeath'd thee, from the cross, to me;
And oh, how can I love thy Son,
Sweet mother, if I love not thee! Used With Tune: [Mother of mercy, day by day]
Mother of Mercy
