There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Voices Together #156 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
like the wideness of the sea.
There’s a kindness in God’s 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 But we make God’s love too narrow
by false limits of our own,
and we magnify its strictness
with a zeal God will not own.
4 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
5 If our love were but more simple,
we should rest upon God’s word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord. Topics: Forgiveness From God; God Love of; Grace; Mercy Scripture: Exodus 34:6-7 Tune Title: WELLESLEY

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #290 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;

And a promised grace made good;

Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.

And the heart of the eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the head.
4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus;
It is something more than all:
Greater good because of evil,
Larger mercy through the fall.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
