The King at the Door

Author: L. S. L. Hymnal: Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services #79 (1922) First Line: A Friend who's knocking at thy heart's door Lyrics: 1 A Friend who’s knocking at thy heart’s door, A Friend who often has knocked before; He waits so patiently just outside; It is Christ the Lord. Refrain: ‘Tis the King at the door, let Him in, He will cleanse you from guilt and from sin; Oh, the matchless love of the King above, To be standing there! 2 He knocks so gently with nail-pierced hand; Ah, who His pleading could long withstand! Blest Son of God, mighty Friend of man, Stands at thy heart’s door. [Refrain] 3 The King of glory now waits outside, My heart’s closed door I will open wide; Come in, dear Savior, and e’er abide, Be my all in all. [Refrain] Tune Title: [A Friend who’s knocking at thy heart’s door]
