Mas cuando arrepentido, mis culpas confesé, de ti he recibido perdón y me gocé. 3 De penas turbadoras mi alma librarás; con notas salvadoras, Señor, me infundirás. Los justos en tu nombre, se regocijarán; con cantos de renombre tus glorias cantarán. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: Psalter, 1912

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. 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. 5. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed, There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 6. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives would be all sunshine In the favour of our Lord. In many editions the hymn begins with the following stanzas: Was there ever kindest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour who would have us Come and gather round His feet? Souls of men, why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? Used With Tune: NEWTON FERNS
