THE HEART OF THE ETERNAL, by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER Poet's Biography First Line: There's a wideness in god's mercy Last Line: In the sweetness of our lord. Subject(s): God; 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. For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MERCY SEAT by NORMAN DUBIE MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TODO by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE VILLON'S EPITAPH by FRANCOIS VILLON UNDER THE VULTURE-TREE by DAVID BOTTOMS THE FORLORN ONE by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM MERCY PLEADS by LUCRETIA STOUT BELLOWS PARADISE by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER |
