Christian Hymns ‎#94

94. Who at the Door Is Standing?

1 Who at my door is standing,
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?

Refrain:
Sweetly the tones are falling;
“Open the door for me!
If thou wilt heed My calling
I will abide with thee.

2 Lonely without He’s staying:
Lonely within am I;
While I am still delaying,
Will He not pass me by? [Refrain]

3 All thro' the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is He;
Jesus, art Thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me? [Refrain]

4 Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide;
Tho' He rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide. [Refrain]
