Sacred Songs No. 1 ‎#9

9. Open Wide the Door

1 Jesus knocks; He calls to thee,
“weary one, O come to Me!”
He can save, and only He;
Open wide the door!

Refrain:
Open wide the door!
Open wide the door!
He can save, and only He;—
Open wide the door!

2 Jesus knocks; He comes to save—
‘Twas for thee His life He gave;
He hath triumphed o’er the grave;
Open wide the door! [Refrain]

3 Jesus knocks, is knocking still:
Yield to Him at once thy will;
He with joy thy heart can fill:
Open wide the door! [Refrain]

4 Jesus knocks; the moments fly;
While salvation yet is nigh,
Ere the Saviour passeth by,
Open wide the door! [Refrain]
