Hymnal: Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) #14 (1897) First Line: You who long in sin have wandered Refrain First Line: Come, O come today Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [You who long in sin have wandered]
