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,
Softly 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 Saviour,
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, for evermore;
Come, poor soul, obey Him,
Open, I implore.
