Knocking, Knocking, Who is There?

Author: Mrs. Stowe Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Knocking, knocking, who is there? Waiting, waiting, oh, how fair! 'Tis a pilgrim strange and kingly, Never such was seen before, Ah! my soul, for such a wonder, Wilt thou not undo the door? 2 Knocking, knocking, still he's there, Waiting, waiting, wondrous fair; But the door is hard to open, For the weeds and ivy-vine, With their dark and clinging tendrils, Ever round the hinges twine. 3 Knocking, knocking--what! still there? Waiting, waiting, grand and fair; Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh, And beneath the crowned hair Beam the patient eyes, so tender, Of thy Savior, waiting there. Used With Tune: [Knocking, knocking, who is there?]

I Will Seek my Father

Author: Paulina Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: When the morn is bright and fair Lyrics: 1 When the morn is bright and fair, When sweet songsters charm the air, I will lift my voice in pray'r, I will seek my Father; Lest my feet should go astray From his pure and perfect way; Lest I grieve him as I may, I will seek my Father. 2 In the solitude apart, In the wilderness or mart, Oh! my sorely tempted heart, I will seek my Father; In the darkness as the day, He shall be my Guide and Stay; I will lean on him alway-- I will seek my Father. 3 When the evening sun is red, When each blossom droops its head, Kneeling low beside my bed, I will seek my Father; That I slumber in his care, Shielded from each harmful snare, And for life or death prepare; I will seek my Father.
