Theres A Wideness In Gods Mercy Hymn & Lyrics
There Is Welcome For The Sinner,
And More Graces For The Good;
There Is Mercy With The Savior,
There Is Healing In His Blood.
But We Make His Love Too Narrow
By False Limits Of Our Own;
And We Magnify His Strictness
With A Zeal He Will Not Own.
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.
If Our Love Were But More Simple,
We Could Take Him At His Word;
And Our Lives Would Be More Loving
In The Likeness Of Our Lord.
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.
Frederick William Faber
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 Savior;
There Is Healing In His Blood.
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.
For The Love Of God Is Broader
Than The Measure Of The Mind;
And The Heart Of The Eternal
Is Most Wonderfully Kind.
If Our Love Were But More Faithful,
We Should Take Him At His Word;
And Our Life Would Be Thanksgiving
For The Goodness Of The Lord.
