203. Knocking at the Door

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

Chorus:
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? [Chorus]

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

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