There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation 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 no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-67 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Consolation Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, the house of God not made with hands, a great High Priest our nature wears, the Saviour of the world appears. 2 He who for us our surety stood, and poured on earth his precious blood, pursues in heaven his plan of grace, the Saviour of the human race. 3 Though now ascended up on high, he bends on earth a brother's eye; partaker of the human name, he knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains a fellow-feeling of our pains, and still remembers in the skies his tears, his agonies and cries. 5 In every pain that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part; he sympathizes with our grief, and to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at God's throne let us make all our sorrows known, and ask the aid of heavenly power to help us in the evil hour.
