There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 63 Appears in 900 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 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 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.
3 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in his Blood.
4 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.
5 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
6 There is plentiful redemption
In the Blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
7 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus;
It is something more than all;
Greater good because of evil,
Larger mercy through the fall.
8 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. Topics: Post-Communion; The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Life In Christ Contemplation Used With Tune: OMNI DIE

Harriet Parr
1828 - 1900 Person Name: Harriett Parr Author of "Hear our prayer, O heavenly Father" in The Book of Common Praise Pseudonym: Holme Lee
Parr, Harriet, was born at York in 1828, and has published several works under the nom de plume of "Holme Lee," including Maude Talbot, 1854; Sylvan Holt’s Daughter, 1858; Warp and Woof, 1861; Mr. Wynyard's Ward, 1867; and several other works of fiction. Miss Parr is known to hymnology by one hymn only, viz.:—
Hear my [our] prayer, 0 heavenly Father. Evening. This beautiful and pathetic hymn appeared in her story The Wreck of the Golden Mary, which was the Christmas number of Charles Dickens's Household Words, 1856. The way in which the hymn is introduced into the story has been often told, and is worth repeating. The story sets forth how the ship Golden Mary, on her voyage to California, struck on an iceberg, and the passengers, taking to the boats, suffered privations for several days. To beguile the time they repeated stories. One of them, Dick Tarrant, a wild youth, relates some of his experiences, in which he says:—
“What can it be that brings all these old things over my mind? There's a child's hymn I and Tom used to say at my mother's knee, when we were little ones, keeps running through my thoughts. It's the stars, may be; there was a little window by my bed that I used to watch them at, a window in my room at home in Cheshire; and if I were ever afraid, as boys will be after reading a good ghost story, I would keep on saying it till I fell asleep."
”That was a good mother of yours, Dick; could you say that hymn now, do you think ? Some of us might like to hear it."
"It is as clear in my mind at this minute as if my mother was here listening to me," said Dick. And he repeated
" 'Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father,
Ere we lay us down to sleep,' " &c.
Through the instrumentality of Dr. Allon it was included in the New Congregational Hymn Book, 1859, No. 945, in 5 st. of 4 1. Since then it has reappeared in numerous collections in Great Britain and America. In some hymn-books, as in Thring's Collection, 1882, it begins, "Hear our prayer, O heavenly Father," and a doxology is added. Instead of the doxology, the Rev. W. J. Hall added the following lines (written in 1873).
"Home of rest and peace unending,
Whither turns my longing heart,
Home from whence thro' all the ages
Never more shall I depart."
This addition was given in the New Mitre Hymnal, 1875. In the Parish Hymn Book, 1863 and 1875, it is a Morning hymn, and begins:—
"Praise to Thee, Whose hosts have watched us
Through the helpless hours of sleep," &c.

Small Church Music
Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
