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 Savior;
There
is healing in His blood.
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
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.
