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. For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man’s mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
3. 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.
