Today Thy
mercy
calls me
to wash
away my
sin;
However
great my
trespass,
whate�er I
may have
been;
However
long from
mercy I
may have
turned
away,
Thy blood,
O Christ,
can
cleanse
me, and
make me
white
today.
Today Thy
gate is
open, and
all who
enter in
Shall find
a Father�s
welcome,
and pardon
for their
sin;
The past
shall be
forgotten,
a present
joy be
given;
A future
grace be
promised,
a glorious
crown in
Heav�n.
Today
the Father
calls me,
the Holy
Spirit
waits,
The
bless�d
angels
gather
around the
heav�nly
gates;
No
question
will be
asked me,
how often
I have
come;
Although I
oft have
wandered,
it is my
Father�s
home.
O all
embracing
mercy,
thou ever
open door,
What shall
I do
without
thee when
heart and
eyes run
o�er?
When all
things
seem
against
me, to
drive me
to
despair,
I know one
gate is
open, one
ear will
hear my
prayer.
