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. |
