1
O Jesus, Thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
2
O Jesus, Thou art knocking;
And, lo, that hand is scarred,
And thorns Thy brow encircle,
And tears Thy face have marred:
3
O Jesus, Thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, My children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
C
Chorus
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep Him standing there!
O shame, professing Christian,
His name and sign who bear,
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep Him standing there!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
Dear Savior, enter, enter,
And leave us never more.
