Author: Frederick W. Faber; Alice Flowerdew Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #141 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Languages: English Tune Title: ELEOS
