There's a Wideness

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 901 hymnals First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy 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.

How Tedious and Tasteless!

Author: John Newton Appears in 648 hymnals First Line: How tedious and tasteless the hours Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have lost all their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice: I should, were He always so nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of season or place Would make any change in my mind; While blest with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. Used With Tune: [How tedious and tasteless the hours]
