Luke 1:50

• [Luk 1:50] There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy

  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. There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in Heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our 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. ’Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. 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. Souls of men! why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? It is God: His love looks mighty, But is mightier than it seems; ’Tis our Father: and His fondness Goes far out beyond our dreams. 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. Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Savior who would have us Come and gather at His feet?

Luke 17:17

• [Luk 17:17] Where Are The Nine?

  Wand’ring afar from the dwellings of men, Hear the sad cry of the lepers, the ten; “Jesus have mercy!” brings healing divine, One came to worship, but where are the nine? Refrain Where are the nine? Where are the nine? Were there not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Loudly the stranger sang praise to the Lord, Knowing the cure had been wrought by His word, Gratefully owning the Healer divine; Jesus says tenderly, “Where are the nine?” Refrain “Who is this Nazarene?” Pharisees say; “Is He the Christ? Tell us plainly, we pray.” Multitudes follow Him seeking a sign, Show them His mighty works—where are the nine? Refrain Jesus on trial today we can see, Thousands deridingly ask, “Who is He?” How they’re rejecting Him, your Lord and mine! Bring in the witnesses—where are the nine? Refrain
