Author: Joseph Grigg Hymnal: Laudes Domini #281 (1888) Topics: Access to God First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh, lovely attitude! he stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes.
3 But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will, the very friend you need--
The Friend of sinners; yes, 'tis he,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine,
Turn out his enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in. Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
