There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 902 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 57:10 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 in God's heaven: there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgment given. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of the 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 be filled with glory from the glory of the Lord.
