Lyrics to There's A Wideness In God's Mercy
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
But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of our mind
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea

Like the wideness of the sea
There's a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty
But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of our mind
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
