God is Knocking at the Door

Hymnal: MSCC1879 #25 (1879) First Line: God is knocking, ever knocking Refrain First Line: Hear it mortal! Lyrics: 1 God is knocking, ever knocking, At the heart's thrice bolted door, Which we're looking, ever looking, As we oft have done before; And we hear, yet hearing heed not, While we fast bolt the door. Refrain: Hear it mortal! Open quickly, God is waiting at the door. 2 He is calling, ever calling, In a soft and gentle tone, To the fallen and the falling, To the weary and the lone; Still they answer not the summons, Till the spirit voice has flown. [Refrain] 3 He's entreating, e'er entreating, By his mercy, by his care, Knocking, knocking, and repeating; Calling, calling, this his pray'r: "Let me enter!"--hear it, mortal, Open wide the sin-locked door.

Johnny; or, The Little Cripple' Song

Author: Geo. F. Root Hymnal: MSCC1879 #28 (1879) First Line: We passed poor Johnny's cabin Refrain First Line: I love him, oh, I love him Lyrics: 1 We passed poor Johnny's cabin, The evening sun was low, And thro' the little window It sent its parting glow; His patient eyes were resting Upon the open door, And, while we listened, sweetly came This burden o'er and o'er. Refrain: I love him, oh, I love him, My Saviour near and dear, For tho' he cares for countless worlds, He's always with me here. O Savior, blessed Savior, My heart is filled with joy, How can you stay, and love me so, A little crippled boy? 2 His old and well-worn Bible Was close beside his bed, The golden hues of sunset Were playing round his head; A radiance more than earthly Beamed from his features thin, We paused to hear his song again Before we entered in. [Refrain] 3 But when we came to leave him, And held his slender hand, We knew he had a comfort We could not understand; And as beneath the maple We stopped again to hear, There seemed a sound of angels in The song so heav'nly clear. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We passed poor Johnny's cabin]

Carefully, Tearfully

Author: Rev. George Duffield Hymnal: MSCC1879 #34 (1879) First Line: Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh Lyrics: 1 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. There would I see all the Father revealed, Faithful and true, all the promises sealed, Gift of all gifts, the most loved and adored, Jesus, anointed, the Saviour and Lord. 2 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Beautiful feet on the mountain that bring Tidings, glad tidings from Israel’s King. Peace and salvation, and pardon divine, Joy of all joys, that salvation is mine. 3 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Many the conflict thro’ which He has pass'd, Ended His sorrowful journey at last; Wounded His head, and His hands and His feet, Finished! He cries, and His work is complete. 4 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Saviour to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Altar, and victim, and priest to stone, Treading the wine-press of vengeance alone; Stained are His garments, with tears and with blood, Jesus, Redeemer! my Lord and my God.
