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.
There's a welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in his blood.
If our love were but more faithful,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be more loving
In the wideness of our lord.
