Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 906 hymnals First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy 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. Refrain: He is calling, "Come to me!" He is calling, "Come to me!" He is calling, "Come to me!" Lord, I gladly come to Thee. 2 There’s no place where earthly sorrows Are more felt than up in heav’n; There’s no place where earthly failings Have such kindly judgment giv’n. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our 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.

The best of friends I have in heaven

Author: J. H. Horstmann Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The best of friends I have in heaven, The loyal friends on earth are few; Where hearts to things of earth are given, Friends cannot be sincere and true; But firmly I can e’er depend On Jesus as my dearest friend. 2 The world bestows its greatest favors On those who can and will repay; Whenever fortune’s friendship wavers, Its favors too will pass away; With Jesus such is not the end, He always is the dearest friend. 3 He is the friend above all others, Whose heart and soul is wholly mine; Whose love is stronger than a brother’s, And stands beyond the end of time; Then praise with me unto the end My Saviour as the dearest friend.
