1 Hear you not the gentle sound
At your heart as Christ goes round?
Gently knocking at each door,
Knocking, knocking, ever more.

Refrain:
Knocking, knocking, at your heart’s door,
Knocking, knocking, evermore;
Gently knocking at your heart’s door,
Knocking, knocking, evermore.

2 Do not let Him knock in vain;
Now He knocks again, again;
If you’ll not undo the door,
He may leave to knock no more. [Refrain]

3 But if you will let Him in,
Heav’nly joys you’ll sup with Him;
He will take away your sin,
Holy pleasures place within. [Refrain]
