The Heavenly Visitor

How it knocketh, knocketh, knocketh, Knocketh evermore. Say not, 'tis thy pulses beating, 'Tis thy heart of sin; 'Tis the Spirit's voice entreating Thee to let the Saviour in. Chorus: Let Him in, Let Him in, 'Tis the Holy Spirit knocketh,--Rise, and let the Saviour in. 2. Death comes down with ruthless footstep To the hall and hut-- Think you death will stand there knocking When thy door is shut? Jesus waiteth, waiteth, waiteth, But thy door is fast; Grieved, away the Saviour turneth, Death break in the door at last. Chorus 3. Then 'tis time to stand entreating Christ to let thee in; At the gate of heaven beating, Wailing for thy sin. Nay, alas! thou foolish creature, Can it be forgot? Jesus waited long to know thee, But he then will know thee not. Chorus Languages: English Tune Title: [In the silent midnight watches]

INFINITE GRACE

Hymnal: G21873 #7 (1873) First Line: And can it be that I should gain Lyrics: 1. And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caus'd his pain? For me who him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be, That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! how can it be, That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me? 2. 'Tis mist'ry all, th' Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine; 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore: Let angel minds inquire no more. 3. He left his Father's throne above; (So free, so infinite his grace!) Emptied himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For, O my God, it found out me! 4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night: Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray; I woke: the dungeon flam'd with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free-- I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, with all in him, is mine; Alive in Him my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th' eternal throne And claim the crown, thro' Christ my own.

I've come a weary distance, Long miles of grief and sin; Come sorely press'd and laden, Oh! wilt thou let me in? Chorus: Let me in, Oh! wilt thou let me in? I've come a weary distance, Oh! wilt thou let me in? 2. My hands hang limp and nerveless, My burden to remove; My feeble knees are shaking, Open, and show thy love. My eyes are dim with watching To catch a glimpse within; My heavy ear is aching To hear thee say, "Come in." Chorus 3. Oh! haste! unlatch, I pray thee! I trust thy gracious word, "To him that knocks I'll open!" Thou true and faithful Lord. The latch turns on the promise, The door on hinge of gold; Oh! wondrous grace and glory! The half had not been told. Chorus Languages: English Tune Title: [My foot is on the threshold]

THE ROYAL WAY

Hymnal: G21873 #9 (1873) First Line: We may spread our couch with roses Lyrics: 1. We may spread our couch with roses, And sleep thro' the summer day; But the soul that in sloth reposes Is not in the narrow way. If we follow the chart that is given, We need not be at loss, For the only way to heaven, Is the royal way of the cross. 2. Unto those who live in splendor, The cross is a heavy load; And the feet that are soft and tender, Will shrink from the thorny road; But the chains of the soul must be riven, And wealth must be as dross; For the only way to heaven, Is the royal way of the cross. 3. We may say we'll walk to-morrow, The path we refuse to-day; And still, with our lukewarm sorrow, We shrink from the narrow way. What heeded the chosen eleven, How fortune life might toss, As they followed their Lord to heaven, By the way of the royal cross. Languages: English Tune Title: [We may spread our couch with roses]
