144. There's a fullness in God's mercy

1 There's a fullness in God's mercy,
Like the fullness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice
Which is more than liberty.

Refrain:
He is calling, "Come to Me!"
Lord, I'll gladly haste to Thee.

2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And in the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind. [Refrain]

3 Pining souls! come nearer Jesus;
Come, but come not doubting thus;
Come with faith that trusts more freely
His great tenderness for us. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
