"I Stand At The Door"
Author: J. Traviss Lockwood Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: On the threshold lo! there standeth Lyrics: 1 On the threshold lo! there standeth
One whose voice we’ve heard before;
And He patiently demandeth
Entrance at the closèd door:
"Guilty sinner, let me in!
I have come to cleanse your sin."
2 Hark! how tenderly He’s pleading,
"I am standing at the door";
Whilst the sinner, still unheeding,
Keeps it barred as heretofore.
But the sceptered kingly hand
Still an entrance doth demand.
3 ’Tis the Savior, long rejected,
Wakes the echoes of the heart;
’Tis His voice, so long neglected,
Bids our evil guests depart;
And Himself our guest would stay,
Keeping evil foes away.
4 O, behold His side so piercèd,
Wounded hands and feet and brow;
By His wounds from sin releasèd,
We may hail Him Savior now;
Coming, He would give us rest,
All by Him so long unblest.
5 Come Thou in! no longer standing
Knocking at our heedless heart;
Come, and all our soul commanding,
Never more from thence depart.
Be our guest, and be our Lord,
Crown and joy and great reward. Used With Tune: KRUNG THEP Text Sources: Murray's Songs for Sunday Schools and Gospel Meetings (Boston: White ^ Smith, 1876)
"I Stand At The Door"
When The Overwhelming Waters
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When the overwhelming waters Lyrics: 1 When the overwhelming waters
Once a world of sinners drowned,
Eight of Adam’s sons and daughters
In the Ark salvation found:
Gathered to the Church, may we
Thus from wrath and peril flee.
2 When the fire from God descended
On the cities of the plain,
Three alone, by Heav’n befriended,
Refuge did in Zoar gain:
By our pastors led, may we
Thus escape to Calvary.
3 When the midnight angel numbered
Egypt’s firstborn with the dead,
Israel’s tribes, unsmitten, slumbered,
Where the paschal lamb had bled:
By the blood of sprinkling, we
Thus from vengeance are made free.
4 When, while quick and dead assemble,
Flames this universe destroy,
Though the wicked quake and tremble,
Saints shall lift their heads with joy:
Raised to life, like them, may we
With the Lord for ever be.
