There’s a wideness, in God’s mercy

by Frederick William Faber (1814–1863)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 114.

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.
