¶Liedtext

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? Was there ever kindest shepherd half so gentle, half so sweet, as the Saviour who would have us come and gather round his feet? 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 judgement given. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. For the love of God is broader than the measures of man’s mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. Pining souls, come nearer Jesus, and oh, come not doubting thus, but with faith that trusts more bravely his huge tenderness for us. 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.
