Mercy and zeal

On January 30, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

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.

~~~

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.
