Father, hear the prayer we offer

The marriage feast is waiting; the gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory; the Bridegroom is at hand. 3 The saints, who here in patience their cross and sufferings bore, shall live and reign forever when sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory the Lamb they shall behold; in triumph cast before him their diadems of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, O Sun so longed for, o'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, we plead, O Lord, to see the day of earth's redemption that sets your people free!

When he came knocking, when he came knocking, When he came knocking at my heart; Oh, I turned away from sin, And I let the Savior in, When he came knocking at my heart. 2 Long I closed my heart against my dearest Friend, But he waits outside no more, For I’ve opened wide the door, And he is dwelling in my heart. When he came knocking, when he came knocking, When he came knocking at my heart; Oh, I turned away from sin, And I let the Savior in, When he came knocking at my heart. 3 Since the Savior came to stay within my heart, Waves of glory o’er me roll, And there’s sunshine in my soul, Since he is dwelling in my heart. When he came knocking, when he came knocking, When he came knocking at my heart; Oh, I turned away from sin, And I let the Savior in, When he came knocking at my heart. 4 Soon I’ll stand outside the gates of glory bright; He who washed away my sin Then will bid his child come in, When I come knocking at the gate. When I come knocking, when I come knocking When I come knocking at the gate; He who washed away my sin Then will bid his child come in, When I come knocking at the gate.
