Text: | There's a Wideness in God's Mercy |
Author: | Frederick W. Faber |
Tune: | WELLESLEY |
Composer: | Lizzie S. Tourjée |
1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice
Which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in His blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
We could take Him at His word;
And our lives would be illumined
By the presence of our Lord.
Amen.
