God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Jonah 3:10 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 his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 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 kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 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. 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. Topics: Access to God; God: The Father Used With Tune: ERIE

Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood his grace; Long provoked him to his face; Would not hearken to his calls; Grieved him by a thousand falls. 3 Kindled his relentings are; Me he now delights to spare; Cries, How shall I give thee up?-- Lets the lifted thunder drop. 4 There for me the Saviour stands; Show his wounds and spreads his hands! God is love! I know, I feel: Jesus weeps, and loves me still. Topics: Afflictions; Backsliding; Christ Priest; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Declenson spiritual Used With Tune: SEYMOUR
