Author: Peter Vogel Hymnal: The Morning Star #26 (1877) First Line: Sinner, didst thou hear it Lyrics: 1 Sinner, didst thou hear it, 'Tis the Savior's call, Standing, knocking, waiting, Christ the Lord of all, Seeking for an entrance In that heart of thine, Pleading to transform thee By His grace divine. Chorus: Standing, knocking, waiting, Hear His gentle voice; 'Tis the Savior calling, Make today your choice. 2 Tender is His accent, Winning is His tone, Standing, knocking, waiting, Wants thee for a son. Father's house of mansions, Beautiful and fair, Stands in grandeur waiting, He would sup you there. [Chorus] 3 Oh, canst thou refuse Him, Knocking day by day, Standing, knocking, waiting, Yield without delay. Yes, the Lord Almighty, Humbled in the dust, Beggeth thee as sov'reign, "Take Me as thy guest." [Chorus] 4 Soon the day is coming, When no more, as now, Standing, knocking, waiting, Christ to thee will bow; On His throne of glory, Thou the beggar then, Judgment passing o'er thee, Thou wilt beg in vain. [Chorus] 5 Oh, I yield, I open, Savior at the door, Standing, knocking, waiting, Thou shalt wait no more. Enter with forgiveness, Enter, Peerless One; Treat me as a servant, Never as a son. [Chorus] Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Tune Title: [Sinner, didst thou hear it]

Knowles Shaw

1834 - 1878 Composer of "[Sinner, didst thou hear it?]" in The Gospel Awakening Knowles Shaw (1834-1878), a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan Township, Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist." As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand. His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons. --A History and Biographical Cyclopedia of Butler County, Ohio. Cincinnati, 1882. DNAH Archives
