Author: C. C. C. Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #286 (1938) First Line: Why keep Jesus waiting Refrain First Line: Open, I implore. Lyrics: 1 Why keep Jesus waiting,
Waiting in the cold?
He will bear you gently,
Gently to His fold;
See Him, soul, and open,
Open, I implore.
2 Why keep Jesus waiting,
Waiting at the door?
Oft He knocketh softly,
Softly o’er and o’er;
Hear Him, soul, and open,
Open, I implore.
3 Why keep Jesus pleading,
Pleading at the door?
He would be your Saviour,
Ever, evermore;
Love Him, soul, and open,
Open, I implore.
4 Why keep Jesus waiting--
Knocking at the door?
Soon He’ll cease His pleading,
Yes, for evermore;
Come, poor soul, obey Him,
Open, I implore.
