There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals 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 heaven. There is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgment given. 2 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind. And the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we would gladly trust God's Word, and our lives reflect thanksgiving for the goodness of our Lord. Topics: Praise to God Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise his name-- I'm fixed upon it-- name of God's redeeming love. 2 Here I raise to thee an altar, hither by thy help I've come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, bought me with his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee; prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O, take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above.
