Author: F. W. Faber Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #146 (1904) 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.
Refrain:
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.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood. [Refrain]
3 There is plentiful Redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head. [Refrain]
4 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man’s mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind. [Refrain]
5 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. [Refrain] Topics: Love Tune Title: [There's a wideness in God's mercy]
