An Open Door

Author: O. D. Sherman Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord has set before us Lyrics: 1 The Lord has set before us A wide and open door; And all may enter in there, And none may shut it more. It leads to realms of beauty, Out from the depths of sin; It turns on golden hinges, And all may enter in. 2 Within all’s light and glory; Outside all’s grief and gloom; Within, God’s love is beaming, And flow’rs immortal bloom. Come, weak and needy sinner, With all thy guilty store, Lay down thy heavy burden Before the “open door.” 3 A welcome waits to greet thee, A crown laid up in store; And angels hail thy coming, Within the “open door.” A welcome waits to greet thee, A crown laid up in store; And angels hail thy coming, Within the “open door.” Used With Tune: [The Lord has set before us]
