God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Jonah 3:10 First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy 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 welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 2 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. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure 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. Topics: Access to God; God: The Father Used With Tune: ERIE

God is love! I know, I feel: Jesus weeps, and loves me still. Topics: Afflictions; Backsliding; Christ Priest; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Declenson spiritual Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast

Author: Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 701 hymnals Scripture: Jonah 3:9 Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve; Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know his courts: I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone, Without his sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps he will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can not perish if I go: I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die.
