There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 902 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 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 no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement given. 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 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own. 5 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 6 There is grace enough for thousands of new worlds as great as this; there is room for fresh creations in that upper home of bliss. Descant: If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives would be all gladness in the joy of Christ our Lord.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-7 First Line: Jesus, we bless thy Father's name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy Father’s name; Thy God and ours are both the same; What heav'nly blessings from his throne, Flow down to sinners thro' his son! 2 “Christ be my first elect,” he said; Then chose our souls in Christ our head, Before he gave the mountains birth, Or laid foundations for the earth. 3 Thus did eternal love begin To raise us up from death and sin; Our characters were then decreed, "Blameless in love, a holy seed." 4 Predestinated to be sons, Born by degrees, but chose at once; A new regenerated race To praise the glory of his grace. 5 With Christ our Lord we share our part In the affections of his heart: Nor shall our souls be thence remov'd, Till he forgets his first-belov'd.

Teach me some melodious measure sung by flaming tongues above; O the vast, the boundless treasure of my Lord's unchanging love! 2 Here I find my greatest treasure: hither by thy help I've come, and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; take my heart, O take and seal it, seal it from thy courts above!

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,132 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:7-14 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform; he plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill he treasures up his bright designs, and works his sovereign will. 3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take: the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace; behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
