There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Ordinary Time 11, Year C 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 thanksgiving For the goodness of the 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 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you; and I, O Jesus, it was I denied you, I crucified you. 3 See how the Shepherd for the sheep is offered, the slave has sinned, and yet the Son hath suffered; for our atonement hangs the saviour bleeding, God interceding. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your dying sorrow and your life's oblation; your bitter passion and your desolation, for my salvation. 5 O mighty Saviour, I cannot repay you, I do adore you, and will here obey you: recall your mercy and your love unswerving, not my deserving.
