[Christ is knocking, ever knocking]
The Bolted Door
Author: A. C. Hulse Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Christ is knocking, ever knocking Refrain First Line: Hear it, mortals, open quickly Lyrics: 1 Christ is knocking, ever knocking,
At the heart’s thrice-bolted door;
Which we’re locking, ever locking,
As we oft have done before.
Though we hear it, yet we heed not,
And still stronger bar the door;
Chorus:
Hear it, mortals, open quickly,
Christ is waiting, waiting at the door.
2 He is calling, ever calling,
In a sad but gentle tone;
He would keep thy feet from falling,
Cleanse and make the all His own.
Why not answer mercy’s summons,
Ere the Spirit voice has flown? [Chorus]
3 He’s entreating, still entreating,
By His mercy, by His care;
He is knocking and repeating,
Seeking for an entrance there.
Let Him enter, let Him enter,
Open wide thy sin-locked door. [Chorus]

Waiting at the Door
William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Christ is knocking, ever knocking]" in Gospel Praise Book. William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Waiting at the Door" in Spirit of Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
