There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Grace Restoring 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 judgment given. 3. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 4. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 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. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives would be all sunshine In the favour of our Lord. In many editions the hymn begins with the following stanzas: Was there ever kindest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour who would have us Come and gather round His feet? Souls of men, why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? Used With Tune: NEWTON FERNS

Author: John Newton, 1725–1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Restoration Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He whose word cannot be broken Chose thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake our sure repose? With salvation’s wall surrounded, Thou may’st smile on all thy foes. 2. See! the streams of living waters, Springing from celestial love, Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of drought remove. Round each habitation hov’ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov’ring, Showing that the Lord is near. 3. Blest inhabitants of Zion, Purchased by the Savior’s blood; Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. While in love his Saints he raises, With himself to reign as King, All, as priests, his solemn praises For thank-off’rings freely bring. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Thou, O Lord, on high exalted, Reignest evermore in might; All Thy enemies shall perish, Sin be banished from Thy sight. 3 But the good shall live before Thee, Planted in Thy dwelling-place, Fruitful trees and ever verdant, Nourished by Thy boundless grace. In His goodness to the righteous God His righteousness displays; God my rock, my strength and refuge, Just and true are all His ways. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
