There's a wideness in God's mercy

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.

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 judgement given.

For the love of God is broader

Than the measures of man’s mind;

And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind.

There is plentiful redemption

In the blood that has been shed;

There is joy for all the members

In the sorrows of the Head.

If our love were but more simple,

We would take him at his word;

And our lives be filled with glory

From the glory of the Lord.
