Open Thy Merciful Arms

One of Thy children is coming home Open Thy merciful arms One of Thy children's too tired to roam Open Thy merciful arms Send out a shepherd, open the gate Jesus has called, and his sheep must not wait Oh, what a joy to be travelling home Open Thy merciful arms Though we may travel the valley of death Jesus will save us from harm Though we be weary, we soon will rest Open Thy merciful arms Do not be fearful, lest be late Jesus has called and his sheep must not wait Oh, what a joy to be travelling home Open Thy merciful arms
