KNOCKING AT THE DOOR-Dr. Asa Brooks Everett

Knocking at the Door
}
Who at my door is standing,
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?
Chorus 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?

All thro' the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is He,
Jesus, art Thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me?

Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide,
Tho' He rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide.
