Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 902 hymnals Topics: Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest Entrance Song Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

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

who comes to set us free
and raises up new hope for us:
a Branch for David's tree.
So have the prophets long declared
that with a mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies
and all who wish us harm.
2 With promised mercy will God still
the covenant recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham
from foes to save us all;
that we might worship without fear
and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness
to serve God all our days.
3 My child, as prophet of the Lord
you will prepare the way,
to tell God's people they are saved
from sin's eternal sway.
Then shall God's mercy from on high
shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death
and lead us into peace. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

with the beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.

open now each mind and heart,
help us by your Spirit's pleading.
