Beautiful to Behold

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth!.... Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently, He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high" (Isaiah 52:7,13). "Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.... Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3:8,20).

How beautiful when feet are shod
To publish tidings of salvation!
Behold the beauty of our God,
Exalted high in adoration!

How beautiful to see the door
That God has opened by His power
To preach the Gospel even more
And thus by grace redeem each hour!

How beautiful to see You, Lord,
At every heart's door as You knock,
And when they open, You record
The prison doors that You unlock!
