Outside the fast-closed door,

In lowly patience waiting

To pass the threshold o'er:

We bear the name of Christians,

His name and sign we bear,

O shame, thrice shame upon us,

To keep him standing there!
O Jesus, thou art knocking;

And Lo! that hand is scarred,

And thorns thy brow encircle,

And tears thy face have marred:

O Love that passeth knowledge,

So patiently to wait!

O sin that hat no equal,

So fast to bar the gate!
O Jesus, thou art pleading;

In accents meek and low,

'I died for you, my children,

And will ye treat me so?

O Lord, with shame and sorrow

We open now the door;

Dear Saviour, enter, enter,

And leave us nevermore!

A-men
