The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#39

39. Knocking at the Door

1 Knocking at the door of thy heart today,
Listening for thy faintest call,
Lo, thy Saviour’s standing, calling thee away
Ere the shades of evening fall.

Refrain:
O why delay? Hear Him today;
Christ at thy heart takes His station;
He has often knocked before;
He may knock again no more;
It is now you may have His salvation.

2 Dreary is the life thou hast lives so long,
Groping in the night of sin;
Let thy voice of sorrow now be turned to song,
Rise and let thy Saviour in. [Refrain]
