A Porta Franca

The Open Door

A Porta Franca

The door is open to usFranqueada a porta a nós está
Of the eternal dwelling,Da perenal morada,
And Christ will grant usE Cristo nos concederá
The triumphant entrance.A triunfal entrada.

Oh, how much love Jesus felt!Oh, quanto amor Jesus sentiu!
For he has already opened the door to mePois ele a porta já me abriu
To me, to me;A mim, a mim;
The door has already opened to me.A porta já me abriu.

If you want, sinner, to enter,Se queres, pecador, entrar,
The door is open!A porta está aberta!
There in heaven you will have a placeAli no céu terás lugar
That Christ offers you.Que Cristo a ti oferta.

Oh, come, sinners, now,Oh, vinde, pecadores, já,
Yes, come without delay!Sim, vinde sem demora!
The right time will pass,O tempo próprio passará,
Oh, come in now!Oh, vinde entrar agora!
