Light in the Valley ‎#191

191. 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.
He is calling, "Come to me!"
Lord, I gladly haste to thee.

2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more grace for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour,
There is healing in his blood.
He is calling, "Come to me!"
Lord, I gladly haste to thee.

3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.

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.
