How rich the records left to us of dedicated lives! Still must the church proclaim to all, that now, and evermore, the house of God is open house, and Christ the Open Door. 3 Of all our labors who can say what harvest there shall be, when time, that limits and distorts, becomes eternity? Then shall our hymns, rehearsed below, be perfect praise above, as, face to face, we fully know what this means: God is love! Languages: English Tune Title: OPEN DOOR
