There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
1. 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. 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 our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4. If our love were but more simple, we should rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.
