Standing, Knocking, Waiting

Sinner

didst thou hear it?

’Tis the Sav­ior’s call

Standing

knock­ing

wait­ing

Christ

the Lord of all;

Seeking for an en­trance

In that heart of thine

Pleading to trans­form thee

By His grace di­vine.

Standing

knock­ing

wait­ing

Hear His gen­tle voice;

’Tis the Sav­ior call­ing

Make to­day your choice.

Tender is His ac­cent

Winning is His tone

Standing

knock­ing

wait­ing

Wants thee for a son.

Father’s house of man­sions

Beautiful and fair

Stands in gran­deur wait­ing

He would sup you there.

Oh

canst thou re­fuse Him

Knocking day by day?

Standing

knock­ing

wait­ing

Yield with­out de­lay;

Yes

the Lord Al­migh­ty

Humbled in the dust

Beggeth thee as sov­er­eign

Take Me as thy guest.
