A Porta Franca
Franqueada a porta a nós está
Da perenal morada,
E Cristo nos concederá
A triunfal entrada.
Oh, quanto amor Jesus sentiu!
Pois ele a porta já me abriu
A mim, a mim;
A porta já me abriu.
Se queres, pecador, entrar,
A porta está aberta!
Ali no céu terás lugar
Que Cristo a ti oferta.
Oh, vinde, pecadores, já,
Sim, vinde sem demora!
O tempo próprio passará,
Oh, vinde entrar agora!
The Open Door
The door is open to us
Of the eternal dwelling,
And Christ will grant us
The triumphant entrance.
Oh, how much love Jesus felt!
For he has already opened the door to me
To me, to me;
The door has already opened to me.
If you want, sinner, to enter,
The door is open!
There in heaven you will have a place
That Christ offers you.
Oh, come, sinners, now,
Yes, come without delay!
The right time will pass,
Oh, come in now!
