Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20
Words & Music: Anthony J. Showalter, in Sweet Harmonies (Eureka Springs, Arkansas: C. M. Barnes, 1906), number 129 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Lo! Jesus patiently knocks at the door,
Knocks at thy heart, knocks at thy heart;
Open today and resist Him no more,
Lest He forever depart.
Refrain
Knocking today, knocking today;
Jesus is knocking,
Is knocking for entrance today.
Open the door and say, Master, come in,
;
Come and abide, come and abide
He will redeem thee and cleanse from all sin,
He will be with thee to guide.
Refrain
Jesus stands waiting and pleads with thee still;
Open today, open today;
How canst thou treat the dear Savior so ill?
How canst thou turn Him away?
Refrain
Open the door of thy heart and find rest,
Find it today, find it today;
Let Him but enter and thou shalt be blest;
Why wilt thou longer delay?
Refrain
