|
|
<p>There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,<br>
|
|
Like the wideness of the sea;<br>
|
|
There’s a kindness in His justice,<br>
|
|
Which is more than liberty.</p>
|
|
<p>There is no place where earth’s sorrows<br>
|
|
Are more felt than up in heaven;<br>
|
|
There is no place where earth’s failings<br>
|
|
Have such kindly judgment given.</p>
|
|
<p>There is welcome for the sinner,<br>
|
|
And more graces for the good;<br>
|
|
There is mercy with the Savior;<br>
|
|
There is healing in His blood.</p>
|
|
<p>There is grace enough for thousands<br>
|
|
Of new worlds as great as this;<br>
|
|
There is room for fresh creations<br>
|
|
In that upper home of bliss.</p>
|
|
<p>For the love of God is broader<br>
|
|
Than the measure of our mind;<br>
|
|
And the heart of the Eternal<br>
|
|
Is most wonderfully kind.</p>
|
|
<p>There is plentiful redemption<br>
|
|
In the blood that has been shed;<br>
|
|
There is joy for all the members<br>
|
|
In the sorrows of the Head.</p>
|
|
<p>’Tis not all we owe to Jesus;<br>
|
|
It is something more than all;<br>
|
|
Greater good because of evil,<br>
|
|
Larger mercy through the fall.</p>
|
|
<p>If our love were but more simple,<br>
|
|
We should take Him at His word;<br>
|
|
And our lives would be all sunshine<br>
|
|
In the sweetness of our Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>Souls of men! why will ye scatter<br>
|
|
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?<br>
|
|
Foolish hearts! why will ye wander<br>
|
|
From a love so true and deep?</p>
|
|
<p>It is God: His love looks mighty,<br>
|
|
But is mightier than it seems;<br>
|
|
’Tis our Father: and His fondness<br>
|
|
Goes far out beyond our dreams.</p>
|
|
<p>But we make His love too narrow<br>
|
|
By false limits of our own;<br>
|
|
And we magnify His strictness<br>
|
|
With a zeal He will not own.</p>
|
|
<p>Was there ever kinder shepherd<br>
|
|
Half so gentle, half so sweet,<br>
|
|
As the Savior who would have us<br>
|
|
Come and gather at His feet?</p>
