(Verse 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.
(Verse 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.
(Verse 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
(Verse 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
