Psalm 103:12-King James Version

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber (1862)

1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,

like the wideness of the sea.

There’s a kindness in God’s justice,

which is more than liberty.

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.

3 But we make God’s love too narrow

by false limits of our own,

and we magnify its strictness

with a zeal God will not own.

4 For the love of God is broader

than the measures of the mind,

and the heart of the Eternal

is most wonderfully kind.

5 If our love were but more simple,

we should rest upon God’s word,

and our lives would be illumined

by the presence of our Lord.
