    If this is old school.....

    One side will be either trim or the wood itself the window pane abuts to. Then you will have glazier points holding the window pane in, then a good bead (smoothed) of glazing compound.

    Trimming the door will be something, it will add character to your door. You can also try the old sanding and polish technique to make it more classic.
