Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Light in the Valley #154 (1898) First Line: Dost thou know at thy bolted heart's-door tonight Refrain First Line: Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand Lyrics: 1 Does thou know at thy bolted heart's-door tonight,
The Saviour in meekness doth stand,
And longs for admission? pray, listen now
To the knock of the nail-pierced hand.
Chorus:
Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand,
Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand;
Swing the door open wide,
Bid him enter and abide,
Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand.
2 Outside he has stood thro' the length of the years,
Since Mother the love-flame first fanned;
You have spursed and rejected,
O give heed to-night
To the knock of the nail-pierced hand. [Chorus]
3 You turn not away when a friend's at your door,
Here's one there's none like in the land,
Who asks to come in to forever abide;
Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand. [Chorus]
4 All the pain and the shame of his death on the tree
A welcome from you should command,
Since the weight of your sins in his body he bore;
Heed the knock of the nail-pierced hand. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [Dost thou know at thy bolted heart's-door tonight]
