Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 904 hymnals 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 the mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, We should rest upon God's word; And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of the Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
