There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, (1814-1864) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 917 hymnals Lyrics: 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. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His Word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the presence of our Lord. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Trinity, Fourteenth Sunday; Trinity, Twenty-second Sunday; Mercy of God Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 550 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to take my stand,-- The shadow of a mighty Rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, And burdens of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus My eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my stricken heart with tears Two wonders I confess,-- The wonder of redeeming love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow For my abiding-place: I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss; My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the cross.

The world's dark night is hastening on: The willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on, while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! Cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not! Keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth, into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile, home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peak, "Behold, I come!" Amen.
