There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 900 hymnals Matching Instances: 30 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 plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We would trust God's saving word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 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? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior. There is healing in his blood.

Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Matching Instances: 17 Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou once despised Jesus; Hail, thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us; thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou universal Savior, bearer of our sin and shame, by thy merit we find favor: life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on thee were laid: by almighty love anointed, thou hast full atonement made: all thy people are forgiven through the virtue of thy blood; opened is the gate of heaven; reconciled are we with God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, there for ever to abide; all the heav'nly hosts adore thee, seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners thou art pleading: there thou dost our place prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing thou art worthy to receive; loudest praises without ceasing meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays; help to sing our Savior's merits; help to chant Emmanuel's praise!

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855 - 1932 Appears in 62 hymnals Matching Instances: 16 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race, Thou our Head, who, throned in glory, For thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with thy love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have thy gifts been granted, Freely may thy servants give. Thine the gold and thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign above us, King of love, and Prince of Peace: Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease; By thy patient years of toiling, By thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 Dark the path that lies behind us, Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood; But before us gleams the vision Of the coming brotherhood. Thou who prayedst, thou who willest That thy people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope's fruition: Here on earth thy will be done. Amen.

Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We, with joyful praise and singing, Honor them for evermore. 2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Loving Christ with single heart, Thus they, glorious and victorious Bravely bore the martyr's part By contempt of ev'ry anguish, By unyielding battle done; Victors at the last, they triumph With the host of angels one. 3 Therefore, all that reign in glory, Strong and sure with Christ on high, Join to ours your supplication When before him we draw nigh, Praying that, this life completed, All its fleeting moments past, By his grace we may be worthy Of eternal bliss at last.
