114   There s a Wideness




[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 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.
