How Long At the Door

Verse 1

How long outside wilt thou have Me stand? How long shall I wait at the door? How long shall I stretch to thee My hand? How long thy love implore?

Chorus

Behold, I stand at the door and knock, Behold, I stand! O let thy Saviour in!

Verse 2

O, let me in, I have brought to Thee Rich dainties from My store; I'll sup with thee and thou with Me; Oh, open now the door!

Verse 3

Now is the time, oh arise, arise, Break off Thy league with sin! Nor longer still My voice despise, Arise and let Me in.

Verse 4

No longer trust thine own vain heart, Nor rich thyself esteem, Buy in thy Lord a blessed part, And find thy wealth in Him.

Verse 5

Let in My word, it will make thee free, Receive the Holy Ghost; Anoint thine eyes that thou mayest see, Nor from the way be lost.
