JESUS AT THE DOOR.

By Frank Hope

BY FRANK HOPE.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev. 3:20.

JESUS, thou the world's Redeemer, Canst thou deign to dwell with me, A rebellious, fallen sinner, One who was thine enemy?

Tell, oh tell me, dare I suffer Thee to enter this abode? What to thee have I to offer, Save my guilty soul's foul load?

But thou, Jesus, still art knocking At the portal of my heart, And shall I, thy mercy mocking, Bid thee from my soul depart?

Nay, but knock thou ever harder, Till thou break this heart of stone; Come, oh come thou ever nearer, Till I see but thee alone.
