I stand at the door, and knock.
Revelation 3:20
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Young People’s Songs of Praise, edited by Ira Sankey (Chicago, Illinois: Biglow & Main, 1902), number 162.
Music: Ira D. Sankey (🔊 pdf nwc).
Let the blessèd Savior in,
He will cleanse from every sin;
He is waiting at thy door,
Hear Him calling o’er and o’er.
Refrain
Let Him in, let Him in;
Let the blessèd Savior in;
Do not keep Him longer waiting,
Let the blessèd Savior in.
Still His mercy pleads with thee,
Come and find redemption free;
Weak and helpless tho’ thou art,
He will bind thy broken heart.
Refrain
Still in pity, lo, He stands,
Reaching forth His wounded hands;
Grieve His patient love no more,
Open now the bolted door.
