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 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
Then the measures of our mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We would trust God's saving word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
