Sheet music

  1. 1Who at the door is standing,Patiently drawing near,Entrance within demanding?Whose is the voice I hear?Sweetly the tones are falling;"Open the door for Me!If thou wilt heed My calling,I will abide with thee."
  2. 2Lonely without He's staying;Lonely within am I;While I am still delaying,I am condemned to die!Sweetly the tones are falling;"Open the door for Me!If thou wilt heed My calling,I will abide with thee."
  3. 3All thru the dark hours dreary,Knocking again is He,Jesus, art Thou not weary,Waiting so long for me?Sweetly the tones are falling;"Open the door for Me!If thou wilt heed My calling,I will abide with thee."
  4. 4Door of my heart I hasten!Thee will I open wide;Tho' He rebuke and chasten,He shall with me abide.Sweetly the tones are falling;"Open the door for Me!If thou wilt heed My calling,I will abide with thee."
