EN 5858 Today Thy Mercy Calls Me

Rev.3.8

Versi Version 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.

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 blessed 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.
