Christ in Song 21
Mercy's Gate Is Open
Words: F. M. D.Music: Frank M. Davis, by per.
1Ye who long to sin have wandered From the Saviour's fold a - way, Come, the gate of mercy's o - pen, Come, the gate of mercy's o - pen, En - ter now without de - lay. Far a - way in realms of glo - ry, Lov-ed voic-es claim the strain, "Come, the gate of mercy's o - pen, Come to Jesus once a-gain."
RefrainCome, O come to-day, Come, O come to-day, Come and taste the rich-er blessing, Come, O come, Come, O come to-day, O come to-day.
2Why should you delay longer, when his voice is gently calling, O, sin-sick soul why should-st thou roam? Come and taste the rich-er blessing, By the gate that leads to home. Come, the gate of mercy's o - pen, Come to Je-sus once a-gain.
