Knock at de Golden Do's.
By Hope Onslow
(Tune, "You Must Be a Lover of the Lord.") O my Lord in heben has bid me come,
As He' bid pore souls befo',
When dey's burdened down wid guilt and gloom,
And knock at de golden do'. CHORUS—
O knock at de golden do',
O knock at de golden do',
Keep a knock, knock, knockin'
And a knock, knock, knockin',
Till you enter de golden do'. When de firey trials come teamin' out,
And de heart am sick and sore,
When dere's fears widin and foes widout,
Den knock at de golden do'. For my Lord in hebin stands jes' inside,
Who hab passed dis way befo',
And de portals He will open wide
When you knock at de golden do'. When we see de glory ob His smile,
O de burdens press no mo',
And He bids us wait but a little while
Till we entah de golden do'! For one ob dese days, O bress de King,
We shall wait outside no mo';
He will bid us "come in" while de angels sing,
And we'll entah de golden do'. Den robed in white and crowned wid stars,
We'll weep and cry no mo',
But we pass wid Him from de pearly bars
To de throne from de golden do'.
