Living Hymns ‎#239

239. He is Calling

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.

Chorus:
He is calling, "Come to me!"
Lord, I'll gladly haste to thee.

2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in his blood. [Chorus]

3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of the mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderful and kind. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
