Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: EHOW1921 #46 (1921) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain 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. Topics: God Care of; Mercy of God; Our Father's Love and Care Languages: English Tune Title: THEOPHILUS
