Music: Asa Brooks Everett
Who at my door is standing,
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?
Refrain
Sweetly the tones are falling;
"Open the door for Me!
If thou wilt heed My calling,
I will abide with thee."
Lonely without He's staying;
Lonely within am I;
While I am still delaying,
Will He not pass me by?
Refrain
All through the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is He;
Jesus, art Thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me?
Refrain
Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide.
Though He rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide.
Refrain
