There’s a wideness, in God’s mercy, 
like the wideness of the sea; 
There is mercy, with the Savior, 
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 
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 sweetness of our Lord.

I loved it had no idea I know it
Great song
I read the original poem that was written before it was made into a hymn – 12 stanzas My favorite is this one:
But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own
