At the Door

Author: Anon. Appears in 629 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: Behold the Saviour at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long is waiting still, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 He counsels thee to buy of him Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean; Anoint thine eyes, that thou may'st see, And put away thy stains from thee. 3 O, hear the faithful Witness' voice, He offers now a final choice; Thou art offensive, O lukewarm! Therefore be zealous and reform. 4 His mission now is almost o'er, Before the throne he'll plead no more; The filthy must his filth retain, He that is holy, so remain. 5 His locks with dews of night are wet, But at thy heart he ling'reth yet. Awake! and open wide the door; Bid thy Beloved wait no more. 6 Yes, bring him in, a welcome guest; So shalt thou in his presence rest, And in communion sweet and free, Shalt sup with him and he with thee.

Speak the reconciling word, And let thy mercy melt me down; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 2 Saviour, Prince, enthroned above, Repentance to impart, Give me, thro' thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart; Give what I have long implor'd, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 For thine own compassion's sake, The gracious wonder show; Cast my sins behind thy back, And wash me white as snow: If thy pity now is stirr'd, If now I do myself bemoan, Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 4 Clothe me with thy holiness, Thy meek humility; Put on me thy glorious dress Endue my soul with thee: Let thine image be restor'd, Thy name and nature let me prove; Fill me with thy fulness, Lord, And perfect me in love.
