216. Open to God Your Heart

1 Open the door of your heart, dear child,
Unto God’s angels of truth;
Unto the pure and undefiled
Open the heart of youth.
Turning aside from the things untrue,
Bidding the tempter depart,
Heed the sweet voices that call to you,
“Open to God your heart.”

Refrain:
Your heart fling open,
God will his blessing impart
Let him for aye in the soul abide,
Open to him your heart.

2 Open to him lest you miss the goal,
Prize that shall ever abide,
Tho’ts of the holy will lift the soul
Up to the Crucified.
Beautiful roses will bloom for you,
Treasures of music and art,
All may be yours if you seek the true;
Within undivided heart. [Refrain]

3 Open the door to a gen’rous life,
Work out in action your creeds;
Heed not the voices of sin and strife,
Fill earth with noble deeds.
Unto the city by angels trod,
Heav’n has provided one chart,
Only the love of the Christ of God;
Let his inspire your heart. [Refrain]
