The Open Door
Author: Daniel R. Lucas Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12002 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The Lord to Peter gave Lyrics: 1 The Lord to Peter gave
Before He left the earth,
The keys to open wide the door
That leads to heavenly birth.
2 The Holy Spirit came
On Pentecostal day,
And gave by inspiration’s tongue
The true and living way.
3 How Christ the Lord of love,
By wicked hands was slain,
And overcame His enemies
By rising up again.
4 With piercèd hearts they cry,
"Ye men, what shall we do?"
The answer comes, ’tis mercy’s voice,
As Peter tells them true.
5 Repent and be baptized,
If promise you would claim,
Remitted, then, your sins shall be,
In Jesus’ holy name.
6 Come, sinners, one and all,
These terms to you are given;
No other way on earth is known
For this is bound in Heaven.

======================
Daniel Robertson Lucas, son of Albert and Catherine Robertson Lucas, was born in Belvidere, Boone County, Illinois, on January 14, 1840. In 1858, his family moved to Indiana where he enrolled at the Indiana Normal Institute at Burnettsville, White County, and began preaching at the local Christian church. After his marriage to Mary Longley in 1862, Lucas joined Company C Ninety Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry as a Second Lieutenant. On October 24, 1862, he was appointed chaplain of the regiment. Eighteen months later, he was transferred to the office of provost marshal where he served until the close of the War. The Ninety Ninth fought in the Vicksburg campaign, the second battle of Jackson, the Chatanooga campaign, the battle of Missionary Ridge, and many skirmishes.
After the War, Lucas studied for the ministry. In 1876, he settled in Des Moines, Iowa, where he pastored the Central Christian Church and helped found Drake University. In 1888, he returned to Indiana to pastor the Central Christian Church of Indianapolis. Lucas was Department Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and secretary of the Morton Monument Commission. At the time of his death on March 11, 1907, he was pastor of the Seventh Church in Indianapolis.
