EN 2713 Souls of Men, Why Will Ye Scatter

Zech.13.7

Versi Version 1

1

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?

2

Was there ever kinder shepherd

Half so gentle, half so sweet,

As the Savior Who would have us

Come and gather round His feet?

3

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.

4

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.

5

There is plentiful redemption

In the blood that has been shed;

There is joy for all the members

In the sorrows of the Head.

6

For the love of God is broader

Than the measure of man’s mind.

And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind.

7

Pining souls! come nearer Jesus,

And oh! come not doubting thus,

But with faith that trusts more bravely

His huge tenderness for us.

8

If our love were but more simple,

We should take Him at His word;

And our lives would all be sunshine

In the sweetness of our Lord.
