Behold a Stranger at the Door
{ Behold a Stranger at the Door by Joseph Grigg Rev 3:20 BERA-John E. Gould DESIRE-Isaac B. Woodbury HAMBURG-based on First Gregorian Chant (arr. Lowe ll Mason) HOLLEY-George Hews ILLA-Lowell Mason BACA-William Batchelder Bradbury Behold a Stranger at the Door } Behold a stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. But will He prove a Friend indeed? He will-the very Friend you need! The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He, With garments dyed at Calvary. O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. Admit Him, for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest; No mortal tongue their joys can tell. With whom He condescends to dwell. |
