Lord, how your wonders are displayed where’er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3 There’s not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that I may be, you, God, are present there.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 902 hymnals 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 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 the mind. And the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we would gladly trust God's Word, and our lives reflect thanksgiving for the goodness of our Lord. Topics: Praise to God Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise his name-- I'm fixed upon it-- name of God's redeeming love. 2 Here I raise to thee an altar, hither by thy help I've come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, bought me with his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee; prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O, take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above.
