THERE’S A WIDENESS IN GOD’S MERCY

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

       Like the wideness of the sea,

       Love and grace, eternal, boundless,

       Sets poor, guilty sinners free.

 

For the good there is no mercy.

       For the righteous there’s no grace;

       But to sinners, poor and needy,

       God in Christ gives life and peace!

 

Do you need a Mediator?

       Are you guilty? Are you lost?

       Do you need a mighty Savior?

       Christ alone must be your trust.

 

Not your feelings, Christ’s obed’ence,

       Not your works, but Jesus’ blood,

       Can appease your guilty conscience

       And give blessed peace with God.

 

Come to Jesus, come and welcome,

       Trust the Savior crucified;

       And go on your way rejoicing

       Saved, forgiven, justified!
