Sweet words o'er-arching mercy's door,
In golden light aflame,
Come, enter, "whosoever will,"
Through one availing name.
Oh, hear the Holy Spirit say,
The door stands open wide to-day,
Open wide! open wide!
In this accepted day.
Thou who art standing just outside,
O look within, and see
The blest delights of that fair fold,
Eternal, full, and free.
Oh, hear the Holy Spirit say,
The door stands open wide to-day,
Open wide! open wide!
In this accepted day.
There peace, like a bright river flows,
There, "pleasures evermore,"
And grace, and purity, and love,
Beyond that open door.
Oh, hear the Holy Spirit say,
The door stands open wide to-day,
Open wide! open wide!
In this accepted day.
The hands that bear the nail-prints still
Fling mercy's door so wide;
'Tis Jesus waiting there himself
To welcome thee inside.
Oh, hear the Holy Spirit say,
The door stands open wide to-day,
Open wide! open wide!
In this accepted day.
