Lord, we would be always blessing, Serve you as your hosts above, Pray, and praise you without ceasing, Glory in your precious love. 3 Finish then your new creation, Pure and spotless, gracious Lord; Let us see your great salvation Perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we sing before the almighty, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:4 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #748 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Service Music for Mass: Introductory Rites Entrance Song Lyrics: 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. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word; And our lives would be illumined By the presence of our Lord. 3 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? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Psalm 33:4-5 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

God who laid the earth's foundation, God who spread the heav'ns above, God who breathes through all creation: God is Love, eternal Love. 2 God is Love; and love enfolds us, All the world in one embrace: With unfailing grasp God holds us, Ev'ry child of ev'ry race. And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow's iron rod, Then we find that self-same aching Deep within the heart of God. 3 God is Love; and though with blindness Sin afflicts all human life, God's eternal loving kindness Guides us through our earthly strife. Sin and death and hell shall never O'er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever O'er the universe must reign. Scripture: Psalm 104:5 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
