To keep Him standing there. 2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking: And lo! that hand is scarred, And thorns Thy brow encircle, And tears Thy face have marred: Oh, love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! Oh, sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low,-- "I died for you, my children, And will ye treat me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore! Used With Tune: ST. HILDA
