There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 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. 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 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 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. Amen. Topics: God the Father Love and Mercy; God Love and Fatherhood Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

[2 Part] 9 The nations, all, O Lord, whom thy great pow'r did frame, Shall come before and bow to Thee, and glorify thy name. 10 For Thou art high and great; the things that Thou hast done, Are truly marvellous and show, that Thou art GOD alone. 11 Teach me thy way of truth, and I will walk the same; And LORD, to Thee unite my heart, that I may fear thy name. 12 O Lord my God, Thee praise, with all my heart will I; Yea constantly and evermore, thy name will glorify. 13 Because thy mercy is exceeding great to me; And from the grave and lowest hell, Thou hast my soul set free. [3 Part] 14 O GOD, the violent and proud in troops arise Against me, and they seek my soul, nor have Thee in their eyes. 15 But Lord, Thou art a God compassionate and kind; Long-suff'ring Thou, and in thy truth, and mercy unconfin'd. 16 O turn to me thy face, to me be mercy shown, They strength, O, to thy servant give, and save thine handmaid's son. 17 Shew me a sign for good, and let my haters see And be asham'd, because Thou LORD, dost help and comfort me

When troubled, I on thee will call, For thou wilt answer me. 3 Among the Gods there's none like thee, O Lord, alone divine!
