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 no place where all earth's sorrowsAre more felt than up in Heaven;There's no place where all earth's failingsHave such kindly judgment given.For the love of God is broaderThan the measure of our mind;And the heart of the EternalIs most wonderfully kind.But we make His love too narrowBy false limits of our own;And we magnify His strictnessWith a zeal He will not own.If our love were but more simple,We should take Him at His word;And our lives would be all sunshineIn the sweetness of our Lord.
