There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 901 hymnals Topics: Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest Entrance Song 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 our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word; And our lives would be illumined By the presence of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Psalm 33:4-5 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
