There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #587 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Invitation; Invitation 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 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 the mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. But we make this love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify its strictness with a zeal God will not own. 4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus; it is something more than all: greater good because of evil, larger mercy through the fall. Make our love, O God, more faithful; let us take you at your word, and our lives will be thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HELENA

God Is Working His Purpose Out

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #594 (1987) Meter: Irregular Topics: Invitation; Invitation Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where'er the church has gone, by the mouth of many messengers the call of God has come: Give ear to me, you continents; you isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world: fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is done in vain unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvesttide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
