The Open Door (Lucas)

The Lord to Pe­ter gave

Before He left the earth

The keys to op­en wide the door

That leads to heav­en­ly birth.

The Ho­ly Spir­it came

On Pen­te­cost­al day

And gave by in­spir­ation’s tongue

The true and liv­ing way.

How Christ the Lord of love

By wick­ed hands was slain

And ov­er­came His ene­mies

By ris­ing up again.

With pierc­èd hearts they cry

Ye men

what shall we do?

The an­swer comes

’tis mer­cy’s voice

As Pe­ter tells them true.

Repent and be bap­tized

If pro­mise you would claim

Remitted

then

your sins shall be

In Je­sus’ ho­ly name.

Come

sin­ners

one and all

These terms to you are giv­en;

No oth­er way on earth is known

For this is bound in Heav­en.
