And He Came to Bethany

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.

’Twas a hap­py

hap­py day

In the old­en time

When the Lord to Beth­any came.

Open wide the door

let Him en­ter now

For His 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.

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.

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.
