Father of Mercies { Father of Mercies by Frederick William Faber 2Co } :3 MOTHER OF MERCY-Traditional Melody Father of Mercies (or Father of Mercies, Day by Day) 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. 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. 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.
