Verse 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.

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

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.

Verse 4

Verse 5

There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head.
