1 God is knocking, ever knocking,
At the heart’s thrice bolted door,
Which we’re locking, ever locking,
As we oft have done before;
And we hear, yet hearing hear not,
While we fast secure the door.
2 He is calling! He is calling!
In a soft and gentle tone;
To the fallen! and the failing!
To the weary and the lone;
Still they answer not the summons,
Till the spirit-voice has flown.
3 He’s entreating! e’er entreating!
By His mercy, by His care,
Knocking! knocking! and repeating;
Calling! calling! this His prayer:
"Let Me enter!" Hear it, mortal!
God is waiting at the door.
