There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of
the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice,
which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
and more graces for the
good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his
blood.
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.
There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has
been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the
Head.
For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the
mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful,
we should trust God's
every word;
and our life would be thanksgiving
for the goodness of the
Lord. |
