There's a wideness in God's mercy
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #598a (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
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 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this;
there is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss.
Descant:
If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year B; Lent II Year C; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 8 Year B; Proper 26 Year B Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CORVEDALE

Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven:
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgement given.

And we magnify his strictness
With a zeal he will not own.

In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the head.
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this:
This is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.
4 If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all gladness,
In the joy of Christ our Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: CORVEDALE
