Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #25 (1879) First Line: God is knocking, ever knocking Refrain First Line: Hear it mortal! Lyrics: 1 God is knocking, ever knocking,
At the heart's thrice bolted door,
Which we're looking, ever looking,
As we oft have done before;
And we hear, yet hearing heed not,
While we fast bolt the door.
Refrain:
Hear it mortal!
Open quickly,
God is waiting at the door.
2 He is calling, ever calling,
In a soft and gentle tone,
To the fallen and the falling,
To the weary and the lone;
Still they answer not the summons,
Till the spirit voice has flown. [Refrain]
3 He's entreating, e'er entreating,
By his mercy, by his care,
Knocking, knocking, and repeating;
Calling, calling, this his pray'r:
"Let me enter!"--hear it, mortal,
Open wide the sin-locked door. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Languages: English Tune Title: [God is knocking, ever knocking]
God is Knocking at the Door
