1 To-day Your mercy calls us To wash away our sin. However great our trespass, Whatever we have been, However long from mercy We may have turned away, Thy blood, O Christ, can cleanse us And make us white today. 2 To-day 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 given, A future grace be promised, A glorious crown in heaven. 3 O all-embracing Mercy, Thou ever-open Door, What should we do without Thee 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.
