There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Sinners Welcomed 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 up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment given.
3. There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood.
4. For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
5. There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed,
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
6. If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word,
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the favour of our Lord.
In many editions the hymn begins with the following stanzas:
Was there ever kindest shepherd
Half so gentle, half so sweet,
As the Saviour who would have us
Come and gather round His feet?
Souls of men, why will ye scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will ye wander
From a love so true and deep? Used With Tune: NEWTON FERNS

Jesus calls us! — in the tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! — in the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day his voice re-echoes
saying, 'Christian, follow me!'
2 As of old, apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us — from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each rival that would claim us,
saying, 'Christian, love me more!'
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these!'
5 Jesus calls us! — by your mercies,
Saviour, make us hear your call,
give to you our heart's obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW
