Words: Frederick Faber (1854)
Music: Anthony D. Moore (2010) 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. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of the mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. Hallelujah to the Father Hallelujah to the Son Hallelujah to the Spirit Hallelujah, three in one |
The verses of this beautiful hymn that I set are only three of the original twelve (!!) that Frederick Faber wrote and had published in 1854. It paints a beautiful picture of the mercy and kindness of our heavenly Father.
I added the trinitarian verse to end my arrangement. |
