There 's a wideness in God's mercy

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 welcome for the sinner,And more graces for the good;There is mercy with the Saviour;There is healing in his blood.

3

For the love of God is broaderThan the measure of man's mind,And the heart of the EternalIs most wonderfully kind.

4

If our love were but more simple,We should take him at his word;And our lives would be all sunshineIn the sweetness of our Lord.
