1 There’s a wideness, in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; There is mercy, with the Savior, 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 man’s mind. And the heart of the Eternal, is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine, In the sweetness of our Lord.
