Father of Mercies by Frederick William Faber 2Co 1:3 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. 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
