The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#132

132. Knocking at the Door

1 Who at my door is standing—
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?

Refrain:
Sweetly the tones are falling:—
"Open the door for me,
If thou wilt heed my calling,
I will abide with thee."

2 Lonely without he's staying—
Lonely within am I;
While I am still delaying,
Will he not pass me by? [Refrain]

3 All through the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is he;
Jesus, art thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me? [Refrain]

4 Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide;
Though he rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide. [Refrain]
