| Text: | Open Wide the Door |
| Author: | W. Kitching |
| Tune: | [Jesus knocks; He calls to thee] |
| Composer: | J. H. Burke |
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]
