There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: Glory to God #435 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Psalm 36:5 First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy 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.
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 kindly judgment given.
2 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind.
And the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful,
we would gladly trust God's Word,
and our lives reflect thanksgiving
for the goodness of our Lord.

washing up its silver spray,
we will walk and worship ever,
all the happy golden day. [Refrain]

lay we ev’ry burden down.
Grace our spirits will deliver,
and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]
4 Soon we’ll reach the shining river,
soon our pilgrimage will cease,
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Topics: All Saints’ Day; Funeral / Memorial Service; Gathering; Heaven Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL RIVER

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord

'tis thy Saviour, hear his word;

and, when wounded, healed thy wound;
sought thee wandering, set thee right,
turned thy darkness into light.
3 'Can a woman's tender care
cease towards the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
yet will I remember thee.
4 'Mine is an unchanging love,
higher than the heights above,
deeper than the depths beneath,
free and faithful, strong as death.
5 'Thou shalt see my glory soon,
when the work of grace is done;
partner of my throne shalt be:
say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
that my love is weak and faint;
yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more! Topics: Proper 12 Year C; Proper 20 Year C Languages: English Tune Title: ST BEES
