There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #662 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Psalm 130:7 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. There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heav'n; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement giv'n. 2 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he would not own. 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 scope of human 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 hearts would find assurance in the promise of the Lord.

Not all the blood of beasts

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #390 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 130:7 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away-- A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his bleeding love.

God helps the stranger in distress, the widowed and the parentless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.
