Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3550 First Line: Dost thou know at thy bolted heart's door tonight Refrain First Line: Heed the knock of the nail-pierc'd hand Lyrics: 1. Dost thou know at thy bolted heart’s door tonight,
The Savior in meekness doth stand,
And longs for admission? Pray, listen now
To the knock of the nail-piercèd hand.
Refrain
Heed the knock of the nail-piercèd hand,
Heed the knock of the nail-piercèd hand;
Swing the door open wide,
Bid Him enter and abide,
Heed the knock of the nail-piercèd hand.
2. Outside He has stood thro’ the length of the years,
Since Mother the love-flame first flamed;
You have spurned and rejected, O give heed tonight,
To the knock of the nail-piercèd hand. [Refrain]
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-piercèd hand. [Refrain]
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-piercèd hand. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Dost thou know at thy bolted heart's door tonight]
