Text: | Knocking, Knocking, Who is There? |
Adapter: | Mrs. Stowe |
Tune: | [Knocking, knocking, who is there?] |
Composer: | Geo. F. Root |
1 Knocking, knocking, who is there?
Waiting, waiting, oh, how fair!
'Tis a pilgrim strange and kingly,
Never such was seen before,
Ah! my soul, for such a wonder,
Wilt thou not undo the door?
2 Knocking, knocking, still he's there,
Waiting, waiting, wondrous fair;
But the door is hard to open,
For the weeds and ivy-vine,
With their dark and clinging tendrils,
Ever round the hinges twine.
3 Knocking, knocking--what! still there?
Waiting, waiting, grand and fair;
Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh,
And beneath the crowned hair
Beam the patient eyes, so tender,
Of thy Savior, waiting there.
