Lyrics

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. 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 would take Him at His word, and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.
