OPEN THE DOOR.

By Julia H. Duffie

BY JULIA H. DUFFIE.

"If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

LIKE panting hart with parching throat No longer search the dusty moat. Lo, Christ himself now gives us food! Oh, taste and see the Lord is good!

Now at the door he stands and waits. Oh, why are closed these human gates, While glory's portals open wide To welcome in the Crucified!

Dear Lord, come in and sup to-day; We know thou wilt not say us nay. We yield ourselves, our doubt, our sin, And Christ, our gracious Guest, comes in.
