There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 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 our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take him at his word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:18-20 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Master, from the mountainside,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Topics: Compassion; Ecumenical; Healing; The Life of the Nations; A New Heaven and a New Earth; Social Concerns Used With Tune: GERMANY

and labour on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.

and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;

whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given;
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship; Dismissal; Stewardship Used With Tune: SONG 34

as seers of old have sung.

amid the cold of winter,
when half spent was the night.

the Rose I have in mind,
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
she bore to us a Saviour,
when half spent was the night.

with sweetness fills the air,
dispel in glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere;
true man, yet very God,
from sin and death now save us,
and share our every load. Topics: Advent; Christmas; Mary; Epiphany Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS Text Sources: St. 1-2, German (15th cent.)

and sink the mountain to a plain;
give me the childlike praying love,
which longs to build thy house again;
thy love, let it my heart o'er-power,
and all my simple soul devour.
2 I would the precious time redeem,
and longer live for this alone,
to spend and to be spent for them
who have not yet my Saviour known;
fully on these my mission prove,
and only breathe, to breathe thy love.
3 My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,
into thy blessed hands receive,
and let me live to preach thy word,
and let me to thy glory live;
my every sacred moment spend
in publishing the sinner's Friend.
4 Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine,
so shall I all my strength exert,
and love them with a zeal like thine,
and lead them to thy open side,
the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases; Evangelism; Faith; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Jesus Christ Friend; Love; Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning; Servant / Service; Stewardship Used With Tune: COLCHESTER
