There's a Wideness

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
