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.
