Author: Frederick William FaberMeter: 8.7.8.7Appears in 902 hymnalsLyrics: 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.
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 gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 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?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.Topics: God Nature of God; Assurance; Calling and Response; Comfort/Consolation; Confession; Forgiveness; Forgiveness from God; Freedom; God Justice (Judgment); God Kindness; God Love; God Love for; God Mercy; God Nature; God Presence; Grace; Healing; Jesus Christ Atonement; Jesus Christ Blood; Jesus Christ Mercy; Joy; Justice; Kindness; Love; Love for God/Christ; Love for Others; Mercy; Pardon; Reconciliation; Redemption; Sin; Trust; Christmas 2 Year A; Easter 4 Year A; Proper 5 Year A; Proper 7 Year A; Proper 15 Year A; Proper 21 Year A; Christmas 2 Year B; Epiphany 8 Year B; Lent 4 Year B; Proper 10 Year B; Proper 13 Year B; Lent 3 Year C; Lent 4 Year C; Easter 7 Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 8 Year C; Proper 13 Year C; Proper 19 Year C; Proper 24 Year C; Proper 26 Year C; Monday in Holy Week Year ABCUsed With Tune: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN
