The Gospel Singer #127
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.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in His blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take Him at His word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.
