There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #290 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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. There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heav'n. There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment giv'n. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And a promised grace made good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in his blood. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind; And the heart of the eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the head. 4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all: Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. 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.
