Today Your Mercy Calls Us

Author: Oswald Allen, 1816-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 Today our Father calls us; The 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. 4 O all-embracing Mercy, O ever-open 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. Topics: Beginning of Service; Gospel Call Used With Tune: ANTHES

And when my joys arise? 2 My God—O could I make the claim— My father and my friend— And call thee mine, by every name, On which thy saints depend! 3 By every name of power and love, I would thy grace intreat; Nor should my humble hopes remove, Nor leave thy sacred seat. 4 Yet tho' my soul in darkness mourns, Thy word is all my stay; Here I would rest, 'till light returns, Thy presence makes my day. 5 Speak, Lord, and bid celestial peace Relieve my aking heart; O smile, and bid my sorrows cease, And all their gloom depart. 6 Then shall my drooping spirit rise, And bless thy healing rays, And change these deep complaining sighs, For songs of sacred praise.
