There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Freedom and Liberation 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.
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 our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we should rest upon God's word;
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.

and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: Freedom First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
Scripture: Exodus 13:3 Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
