The Door of Mercy

Verse 1

I heard a voice that said, “Arise! And to the Saviour go; He longs to welcome thy return, He waits His love to show.” I came a weary, trembling soul, With all my guilt and sin; I knocked at mercy’s door, and cried, “Dear Saviour, let me in!” I knocked at mercy’s door, and cried, “Dear Saviour, let me in!”

Verse 2

I plead the merits of His death, I had no other plea; “Look up, repenting one,” He said, “Look up, and trust in Me.” I felt His cleansing blood applied To wash away my sin; The prayer of faith was not in vain, The Saviour let me in, The pray’r of faith was not in vain, The Saviour let me in.

Verse 3

Now shall my tongue with rapture sing The joy my heart has found; The wondrous story of the Cross Proclaim to all around. Oh come, be reconciled to God, Forsake the paths of sin; At mercy’s door the Saviour waits To let the wand’rer in, At mercy’s door the Saviour waits To let the wand’rer in.
