Author: Joseph Grigg Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #65 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold a stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will- the very Friend you need!
The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He,
With garments dyed at Calvary.
3 O lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands!
O matchless kindness! And He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes.
4 Admit Him, for the human breast
Ne'er entertained so kind a guest;
No mortal tongue their joys can tell
With whom He condescends to dwell. Topics: Invitation Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLEY
