In the Silent Midnight Watches

Author: Rev. A. C. Coke Hymnal: Christ in Song #39 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Lyrics: 1 In the silent midnight watches, List thy bosom's door! How it knocketh, knocketh, knocketh, Knocketh, evermore! Say not 'tis thy pulses beating, 'Tis thy heart of sin; 'Tis thy Saviour knock, and crieth, "Rise and let me in!' 2 Death comes down with reckless footsteps, To the hall and hut; Think you death will tarry knocking, When the door is shut? Jesus waiteth, waiteth, waiteth; But the door is fast; Grieved away thy Saviour goeth, Death breaks in at last. 3 Vainly thou wilt stand entreating Christ to let thee in, At the gate of mercy beating, Wailing for thy sin! Nay! alas, O guilty sinner! Hast thou then forgot? Jesus waited long to know thee, Now he knows thee not! Languages: English Tune Title: [In the silent midnight watches]
