Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) ‎#14

14. Mercy's Gates Are Open

1 You who long in sin have wandered,
From the Saviour's fold away,
Come, for mercy's gates are open,
Open wide for you today.

Chorus:
Come, O come today,
Come, O come today'
Come for mercy's gates are opne,
Open wide for you today.

2 Far away in realms of glory,
Angel voices chant the strain,
Come, for mercy's gates are open,
Earth repeats the glad refrain. [Chorus]

3 On the ear the tones are falling
Like sweet music from above;
Come, for mercy's gates are open,
And accept a Father's love. [Chorus]

4 Wand'rer, list! 'tis Jesus calls you,
Bids you turn to Him today;
Come, for mercy's gates are open,
Hear the Spirit sweetly say. [Chorus]
