Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #187 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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 in God's heaven:
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgment given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more faithful,
we should take him at his word;
and our life be filled with glory
from the glory of the Lord. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God in glory; God in grace and mercy; God Love of Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ALL FOR JESUS
