Lyrics

Verse 1
Who at my door is stand­ing,
Patiently draw­ing near,
Entrance with­in de­mand­ing?
Whose is the voice I hear? (Rev. 3:20, Song of Solomon 5:2)

Chorus
Sweetly the tones are fall­ing;
Open the door for Me! (Rev. 3:20, Song of Solomon 5:2, Luke 12:35-36)
If thou wilt heed My call­ing,
I will abide with thee. (John 14:23, John 15:4)

Verse 2
Lonely with­out He’s stay­ing; (Rev. 3:20)
Lonely with­in am I;
While I am still de­lay­ing,
Will He not pass me by? (Song of Solomon 5:3-6, Isa. 55:6, II Cor. 6:2)

Verse 3
All through the dark hours drea­ry,
Knocking again is He; (Rev. 3:20)
Jesus, art Thou not wea­ry,
Waiting so long for me? (Isa. 65:2, Rom. 10:21)

Verse 4
Door of my heart, I hast­en!
Thee will I op­en wide. (Rev. 3:20)
Though He re­buke and chast­en, (Heb. 12:5-6, Rev. 3:19, Job 5:17, Prov. 3:12)
He shall with me abide. (John 14:23)
