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.
O Lovely Attitude! He Stands
With Melting Heart And Laden Hands;
O Matchless Kindness! And He Shows
This Matchless Kindness To His Foes.
But Will He Prove A Friend Indeed?
He Will; The Very Friend You Need;
The Friend Of Sinnersyes, ‘Tis He,
With Garments Dyed On Calvary.
Rise, Touched With Gratitude Divine;
Turn Out His Enemy And Thine,
That Soul Destroying Monster, Sin,
And Let The Heavenly Stranger In.
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.
Sovereign Of Souls, Thou Prince Of Peace,
O May Thy Gentle Reign Increase:
Throw Wide The Door, Each Willing Mind;
And Be His Empire All Mankind.
