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.
