The Open Door

Author: Miss P. J. Owens Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #202 (1885) First Line: From distant lands appealing Refrain First Line: Behold the open door Lyrics: 1 From distant lands appealing, There comes a cry for aid; The day of Christ’s revealing Breaks from the midnight shade; While each expectant nation Stands waiting on the shore, O heralds of salvation, Behold the open door. Chorus: Behold the open door, Behold the open door, O heralds of salvation, Behold the open door. 2 God’s lightings cleave the ocean To bear His words of cheer, He guides the storm’s commotion To draw the lands more near; He breaks their bars asunder, They melt His love before, And men cry out in wonder, “Behold the open door.” [Chorus] 3 God’s finger points thee onward, Fear not the tempest’s frown, The world is rolling sunward, The Cross shines out a Crown; Ye, to whom much is given, O love and labor more; Then sweet the voice from heaven, “Behold the open door.” [Chorus] Topics: Missionary Languages: English Tune Title: [From distant lands appealing]
