Today Your Mercy Calls Us
Oswald Allen / J.A. Anthes

Today Your mercy calls us to wash away our sin.
However great our trespass, Whatever we have been
However long from mercy our hearts have turned away
Your precious blood can wash us and make us clean today

Today Your 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 giv'n
A future grace be promised, a glorious crown in heav'n

Today our Father calls us; His Holy Spirit waits
His blessed angels gather around the heav'nly gates
No question will be asked us, how often we have come
although we oft have wandered, it is our Father's home.

O allembracing Mercy, o everopen Door
What should we do without You When heart and eye run o'er?
When all things seem against us, to drive us to despair
We know one gate is open, one Ear will hear our prayer.
