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