There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Rev. Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Hymnal #93 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: God Presence, His Abiding 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. 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. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's 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 all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Amen. Tune Title: IN BABILONE
