Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
Revelation 3:20
Words: Anonymous. Adapted by Daniel W. Whittle in The Pearl, edited by J. M. Kieffer (Cleveland, Ohio: S. Brainard & Sons, 1871).
Music: Room for Jesus Charlie C. Williams (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good picture of Williams (head-and-shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), would you ?
Have you any room for Jesus,
He who bore your load of sin?
As He knocks and asks admission,
Sinners, will you let Him in?
Refrain
Room for Jesus, King of Glory!
Hasten now His Word obey;
Swing the heart’s door widely open,
Bid Him enter while you may.
Room for pleasure, room for business,
But for Christ the Crucified,
Not a place that He can enter,
In the heart for which He died?
Refrain
Have you any room for Jesus,
As in grace He calls again?
O today is time accepted,
Tomorrow you may call in vain.
Refrain
Room and time now give to Jesus,
Soon will pass God’s day of grace;
Soon thy heart left cold and silent,
And thy Savior’s pleading cease.
Refrain
