Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #61 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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.
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. Scripture: John 6:37 Languages: English Tune Title: WELLESLEY
