Why Keep Jesus Waiting?

Author: Christopher C. Cline Meter: 11.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals First Line: Why keep Jesus waiting, waiting in the cold? Lyrics: 1 Why keep Jesus waiting, waiting in the cold? He will bear you gently, gently to His fold; See Him, soul, and open, open, I implore. 2 Why keep Jesus waiting, waiting at the door? Oft He knocketh softly, woftly, o’er and o’er; Hear Him, soul, and open, open, I implore. 3 Why keep Jesus pleading, pleading at the door? He would be your Savior, ever, evermore; Love Him, soul, and open, open, I implore. 4 Why keep Jesus waiting— knocking at the door? Soon He’ll cease His pleading, yes, forevermore; Come, poor soul, obey Him, open, I implore. Used With Tune: SAINT-CLOUD Text Sources: Popular Hymns (Louisville: C. C. Cline, 1883)
