There is love, true love, and the heart grows warm, When the Lord to Bethany comes; And the word of life has a wondrous charm, When the Lord to Bethany comes. There is joy, glad joy,and a feast is spread, When the Lord to Bethany comes ; For His heavenly voice brings to life the dead, When the Lord to Bethany comes.
'Twas a happy, happy day in the olden time, When the Lord to Bethany came ; Open wide the door, let Him enter now, For Kis love is ever the same ! His love is ever the same ! . .His love is ever the same! . . . Open wide the door, let Him enter now ! For His love is ever the same !
2. There is peace, sweet peace, and the life grows calm, When the Lord to Bethany comes ; And the trusting soul sings a sweet, soft psalm, When the Lord to Bethany comes. There is faith, strong faith, and our home seems near, When the Lord to Bethany comes ; And the crown more bright, and the cross more dear, When the Lord to Bethany comes.
