Text: | Behold the Savior at the Door |
Author: | Joseph Grigg |
Tune: | ST. CATHERINE |
Composer: | Henri F. Hemy |
1. Behold the Savior at the door!
He gently knocks—has knocked before;
Has waited long—is waiting still;
You use no other friend so ill.
Chorus:
Open the door: He’ll enter in,
And sup with you, and you with Him.
2. Oh, lovely attitude! He stands
With open heart and outstretched hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows
His matchless kindness to His foes. [Chorus]
3. Admit Him, ere His anger burn,—
Least He depart and ne’er return;
Admit Him, or the hour’s at hand
When at His door denied you’ll stand. [Chorus]
