Author: Oswald Allen Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6849 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Today the Father calls me,
the Holy Spirit waits,
The blessèd 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.
4. 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. Languages: English Tune Title: BLAIRGOWRIE
