Today thy 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.

Today thy gate is open,
And all who enter in
Shall find a Fathers 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 blessėd Angels gather
Around the heav'nly gates
No question will be asked us
How often we have come,
Although we oft have wandered
lt is our Father's home.

O all-embracing Mercy,
Thou ever-open Door,
What shall we do without thee
When heart and eyes 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 pray'r.
