as high as the heavens

As far as the east

Is from the west,

So far has He taken

Our sin from us.

For His anger lasts only a moment,

But His favor lasts for a lifetime;

Weeping may remain for a night

But rejoicing comes,

It comes in the morning.

As high as the heavens

Are above the earth,

So great is the Father's love;

As far as the east

Is from the west,

So far has He taken

Our sin from us.

For His anger lasts only a moment,

But His favor lasts for a lifetime;

Weeping may remain for a night

But rejoicing comes,

It comes in the morning.
